Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.In mid-January this year, a Titan Arum (or corpse flower), nearly 10 years old, showed off its first ever bloom at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.The foul-smelling corpse flower only blooms for a couple of days every few years, so it's a cool thing to see.But this corpse flower is particularly exciting because it’s the first “second generation” corpse flower at the Gardens to do it.Cosmos journalist Ellen Phiddian visited the corpse flower while it was blooming, and I chatted to Matt Coulter, Botanic Garden and State Herbarium curator, about it.Find the science of everything at the Cosmos Magazine website)
