Amorphophallus Titanum

Its name means giant misshapen penis, it smells like a rotting corpse, and its over 10ft wide. What is it? A flower of course! The wonderful smell attracts "flesh flies" to pollinate it. "Studies have shown that the inflorescence also generates heat during flowering. This combination of odor, colour and heat effectively imitates a decomposing mammal, earning the plant the common name of carrion flower or corpse flower." Where can this beauty be found? Indonesia (It is found in the forests of Sumatra, an island in Western Indonesia to be exact). How do I know all this?
