Our local botanical garden in #basel has a blooming titan arum (#titanenwurz). This happens only every few years for about 2-3 days.

@p4trick
so what you're saying is any bad smells in the vicinity aren't yours.

@Theriac
Unfortunately the smelling phase was already over this morning when I arrived. But basically you're right 😉

@p4trick That's so cool. Also, why is there a squared hole in the base of the flower?

@xiroux
They cut a hole to manually pollinate it.

@p4trick Oh, cool. Thanks :)
