- David Attenborough uncovers a record-breaking plant at Kew Gardens: a Titan Arum, with a huge tuba that emerges from within the plant once every seven years!
Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum, is a flowering plant in the family Araceae. It has the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. The inflorescence of the talipot palm, Corypha umbraculifera, is larger, but it is branched rather than unbranched. A. titanum is endemic to Sumatra.
From Kingdom of Plants Season 1 Episode 3, "Solving the Secrets": this series, narrated and presented by Sir David Attenborough, documents the world of plants, from the strangest to the most beautiful. Plus, a look at how plants change their biology to adapt to the changing seasons, and ensure their survival.

His narration will live on forever I swear. It’s so captivating
I won one of these in an auction… I know the whole house will smell but I really hope I can get it to flower! It went through a dormancy and has been chilling as a leaf for the last six months. It’s from a 2018 seedling, so I’m getting closer to that 7 year mark!
Update me please! As soon as it blooms just reply to this comment and post a video if it doesn’t inconvenience you!
We need updates!
Just make sure to tell the neighbors so that they don't start calling in Welfare Checks if they don't see you after a while.
I would like to see this.
now that someone who live their life their way....
1:58 - I love how the time lapse makes it look like all the other plants are bowing to it.
It's a Ritual they are summoning it
A couple of the fan palms looked like they were leaning back, aghast at the smell!
plants go through sleep cycles like humans when the leaves sag the plant is sleeping and transfering auxins
Props to the foley artists on this one! So captivating to "listen" to the blooming of such a magnificent flower!
Also, appreciate that Sir David mentioned "probably" carion beetles, recognizing how much we still have to learn about these fabulous life forms!

@@___meph___4547 The sound reminded me of a large rocket like a Falcon 9 taking off from the launch pad and made me smile. :-)
When he speaks it's like listening to your dad or your grandpa that you love

Photography was second to none
Love all the episodes with David Attenborough
Me too
I saw this plant in bloom in a botanical garden in Copenhagen some years ago, and the smell is honestly so vile 😅 Spectacular sight none the less, but a slightly uncomfortable experience if you have a sensitive nose.
Amorphophallus or VooDoo Lily or Devil's Tongue. I've grown them, but far away from my deck. They're pretty awesome looking and yes, they do reek. You can buy bulbs online but they won't grow as large as the one in the hothouse. It would take years for the bulb to grow large enough for that to happen. If you break the name of the species down is sounds like lovemaking.
"uncomfortable" or "memorable" i wonder
Awesome what does it smell like?
@@MerlinOpeth Rotting meat. It's very very uncomfortable 😆
@@Lumimyrsky lol thanks .
I never saw such a passionate person to sacrifice his whole life for preserving nature to whole of
humankind.
one of the greatest person i ever saw on earth. Great respect to him from myself. He is the inspiration person to me for preserving nature to our future generations for human survival on planet earth
We call it Bunga Bangkai in Indonesia. It is because of its smell like carcass. We can also find it in Borneo too not only in Sumatra. Thankyou Sir for the amazing documentation. Love it.
Ini sy lagi nunggu mekarnya juga dihutan desa, g sabar pengen cium aromanya😆
@@muhammadfadli1535 ditunggu dokumentasinya mas... Pengalaman yg langka 🙏
@aprilFirstMoon perkembangannya sy upload di fb, sebelumnya nemu raflesia juga ug mekar sempurna
That's a lot in the Philippines too.
Why is this video cut off ??
In mid-sentence while David is explaining the pollination process it ends !!
I love the ASMR sounds these plants do when they grow
You are a great man sir, you provide a distinct sight of nature and living beings which a normal person can't look ....
Do all of you know he is the brother of great Grand old man who was the head of Scientific research in Jurassic park series.
Such a great siblings with a distinct talents
Their all family is gems of United Kingdom
No, no, young one! His brother is "Roger", the Allied officer in charge of "the Great Escape", movie w/Steve McQueen, David McCallum, James Garner, etc---we are just in different generations! 🥰. (and, yes, of course, an accomplished family..!)
@@christinatweet6580 sorry but as per I searched That jurassic park old man is his brother if I am not wrong
May be u are right, I am not exactly clear.
Props to the camera man for standing there for 2 months!
🎥🚶
😂
Amazing plant, terrible noise at the very end. Stop ending your videos with it.
jup
Could be the sound of the flower burping...
😅
I'm pretty sure it's an elephant
Can’t have nature bites without a lion sound
Nature is always amazing!! So much beauty!!
Thank you David for All you do to educate us!!!
Who has not grown up with this great man as a kid in 45 and jve watched almost all my life he is possibly one of the greatest human beings that have ever existed love from a massive fan in New Zealand
The people who filmed this using all sort of advanced tech...hats off to you,👍👍👍👍👍
Timelaps of nature is always so entrancing to watch
My love of plants grows by each of these wonderful videos
An amazing plant. The film impressed.
Made my day at work better, now I know somewhere out there, I just gotta look closely and nature shall amaze me.
thanks bro nice information
Wonderful documentary Sir David 👍
....It went without saying that this flower is possibly mimicking a dead person/animal in order to attract the insects that usually decompose a body, to pollinate, and that's metal af
Amazing I love time lapse
Amazing
I just luv him!i still can't believe at his age hes still sharp n amazing!the world will miss him when his day comes!hope hes just living to his happiest every day!what a gorgeous flower!
He has been spending his days out in the field working everywhere from the tropics to harsh deserts to the arctic.
It takes a lot of stamina to do that, so I imagine his body is conditioned towards longevity.
Hell of a man.
@@meisteremm ya ik!hes awesome!
@@user-dk5vj2br1o May he live to be one hundred, as long as his quality of life is good.
@@meisteremm so crazy u say that i honestly was thinkin bein an nurse with more experience with all ages but mosty elderly n dementia alzheimers n ive had a pt no head issues live to 103 so i wonder if hed be(depending)..ito live to over 100..i could see maybe 101...i just wish our world had more carin luvin ppl like him...we wouldn't be rushin around to get a glimpse of certain critters or things worryin if next generation will have a chance to see without bein a pic..so much already endangered n ready to be extinct..very sad!😪
Natalya
Awesome 😍
Your voice always make me feel for nature..💚
I love the sound effects.
Solid and Awesome.
It has been cultivated in our garden for a long time. A few years ago such a flower was in bloom.
😲Woow! Neverovatno 🤩 lmpresivno...
Angela
You know it's so fun to watch these videos because I live in Wyoming and a lot grows here but not like What is shown on these premiers. I'm a military brat I moved around a lot and I lived a lot down South when I was a kid when let's just say Mr. Lotta the fauna when I moved up here but got to appreciate the beauty of the high Alpine tundra that is Wyoming °~•.♡.•~°
I'd just like to say thank you for showing me some plant life I once got to enjoy when I was little.
In the Philippines, we called it Pungapong, and it smells good whenever I have mucus.
How awesome!
I never knew these were all once massive leaves. Thats insanely cool!
Love from Sumatra, the island where he saw it for the first time in life.
$hit$ crazy man. Just a bug old Bud coming right out of the ground what a trip!
Seen 2 , and smelt them , in the Wellington Botanical Gardens , "lady Norwood" Glass house and Rose Gardens .
Despite it's aroma , it's a beautiful flower to behold .
Nice
Absolutely awe-some
@2:10-"The giant flower opens" ...And humans wished it hadn't. 😁
A big, hot, rotting flesh smelling flower? How crazy is that?!
Melissa
That flower is a lot on the island of Sumatra and Java, Indonesia, and is the endemic flowers.. and behind my house have been found with a very smelly aroma, but the flower is very beautiful
Qué gigante pero muy hermoso me gusta mucho.
Now I'm waiting to this titan arum blooming in my village 😊
The New York Botanical Garden has had Titan arums bloom several times recently, in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2021. Before that, they hadn't had one bloom since the 1930s.
The first couple of blooms made a lot of news and I saw & smelled it in 2016 and 2019. It was bad, but I've smelled worse. (Stroll by Newtown Creek on a hot summer day sometime.) Last year's bloom, by the same plant that bloomed in 2016 and 2019, didn't make the press at all. I knew nothing about it until afterwards. I guess we get jaded quickly.
I guess the plant got lonely
Could do without that bizarre jump scare at the end. It's completely unpleasant to hear an animal noise cut right into a video so soothing.
Lmao I was like “oh okay that was sudden but alright” I wasn’t spooked or anything but like “e-e”
You’re right though it should’ve been quieter and longer into the video, not 2 seconds from his last words on the video
2:14 Surely the most astonishing sound ever made by a member of plantae.
Blimey!
This is me in the morning 🤣
3:24 When my mom says the sketti’s ready
David Attenborough, the plants 🪴 you show us ufff...
Gosh, these videos end suddenly.
I was invested...then it ends. I need to know more! 😀
Did they film the Amorphophallus decus-silvae too? Its even more beautiful and more rare
Powerful smell and the heat 😁
What is the biochemical mechanism of heat production?
جميل 🌹🌹🌹
Subhan Allah
This has been on TV many times on his programmes.
We have a lot of this plant in our mountain in the Phil.but flowers rear to bloom.
Wow what a magical plant 🇵🇰🎄
I just love his voice , i feel like wacthing ducumentary movie 🤩
Was having "Little Shop of Horrors" vibes watching this.
❤
Once in awhile i skip my job just to go to Bogor Botanical Garden to watch this flower bloom 🤭
Saya juga punya bunga jenis ini,banyak tumbuh di kebunku
I'm wondering if that tree I had in my front yard was the begining of this flower. It was cut down before the tree got to be 7 years old. ..😁😁😁
Must have a pretty good root system
This looks similar to elephant foot yam, whose tuber is edible and very healthy for the body!!!
3:23 What does the word "SPA" mean?
The plant can also be found near Siberian cliff edges and has been renamed Walrussi Fatalis Fraudulum.
4:30 What's that scary whoaaaaaa
Get it
Isn't that Mr. Wilson's plant in the 1st "Dennis the Menace" movie?
no wonder i can't find this flower in Bogor Botanical Garden.
The sound engineer really needs to take a long vacation.
that thing looks like a damn Triffid!
This plant native to my country,the stalk were edible,taste like a tapioca or sweet potato,we called this plant lekir
Oh how perfectly beautiful ! Gives glory to the Creator! Magnificent !’
Shout out to the cameraman filming for 2 months straight
These titles make it seem that David is constantly running around finding new plants and species
I had no idea that there are plants that generate heat!!!
Check out Stewart Mcpherson. He’s the David Attenboroughs of plants!!
I have two mother Konjac, they don't het as big as this one. But it does look like a tree for about 3 weeks, and than dies off. Than becomes a stinky flower. Right now the biggest one I have is in tree form.. should flower again after the tree,leaf form dies off. They do smell gross. They are very beautiful though.
The roar at the end of these videos is like a bloody jump scare. Who thought that was a good idea?
I have something called Dracontium pittieri 💚
Another sumatran giant flowers
We call it Buti in south Borneo,,,,
We have it growing around our house naturally we did not plant it. I will wait for the flower to bloom. I live west of Indonesia
I love nature even though I am only 9 years old
People ask who would you have narrate your life. Most people is Morgan Freemen and I would 100% agree. But I think I would like Sir David to narrate mine. Cheers!
Imagine taking out a chunk and eating it lol
It is in a green house, so are there insects or enough insects for it?
come visit us here in Philippines when its rainy season u can see that plant here everywhere in the jungle .. that's smell horrible
is the noise real?
Welcome To Sumatra
In indonesia,,we called "porang"...
Oh that old man is sick!
