The root of the titanium blooms. The woman nods joyfully, which strives to go to the botanical garden in Berlin. Yes, yes, of course, she saw her, she gets her mobile phone, shows photos. “There, you see,” she says with a Spanish accent. “We do not go to the beach in Indonesia. We are going here to look at this great color, which actually grows there. ” Is this a miracle of light? “Absolutely,” your companion replies.
Titanic Titanum, Titanic Cool, is a plant that, as far as is known, produces the largest flowering in the world. At home in Sumatra and imported into the greenhouses of botanical gardens around the world. If she blooms, a miracle can be admired only for three days. On the first day, she stinks in AAS, so she attracts insects for pollination.
In the greenhouse, gardeners can help with pollination, explains Arnaldi Pramei. There are five such tubers in Berlin. He is responsible for the plant and watches like a small offside, crowds around a pot with a color that looks like an inverted bell from a velvety dark red luminous fabric.
When he was asked if he is the mother of the root of Titan, next to him a colleague says: “But rather a father.” “Son”, the pestrate corrects, referring to his age. He has been working in the Botanical Garden since 2020 and comes from Indonesia. As soon as he saw the flowering root of Titan there. From the pallmes of palm oil, the jungle disappears, and this wonderful plant disappears with it.

The plant is surrounded by people in the greenhouse. Only those who do it completely can fully understand the miracle. A long, somewhat rocky gray brand that protrudes from a wavy flower funnel of wax.
“Like a fountain.” “As a stage design.” “As a three -dimensional picture of Georgia O’Kif.” He drew the inside of the flowers significantly increased to illustrate its sensuality. Big people are on tiptoe and keep their mobile phones in flowers. Where there are reed threads.
The second pot, which stands next to the color, is noticed. It also has a tuber, weighing up to 100 kilograms. Nevertheless, a flower does not grow from this, and a rod with a diameter of ten centimeters. Upstairs he is a branch, fleshy leaves hang on it.
The visitor explains that this is also a titanic root. For many years, the tuber leaves in this way, thus, collects strength through photosynthesis in order to form a flower instead of stems and leaves.
“After the climax of the dead”
The last time, when the root of the titanium flourished, in 2018, the woman says, she could not come, you must work, you must work, this is only three days when you can see her. She is an engineer -question, now he retired. “2.36 meters, this is much for flowers.” It belongs to the team of “enthusiasm.”
