...and for this plant to live for so long, and to bloom only once at the end of it's life, I'm fascinated by that.

It’s native to South Asia
Will head up to the gardens and take some pics between now and Sunday.
Decades ago I walked my dog in those beautiful gardens.
Haven’t been there since December 2019.

And what a strange life cycle it has. I'd love to see one in real life.

I bet there are a few in OZ. I have long held the view that one of the very few good deeds delivered by the Brits were the botanical gardens.😀

Thank you for sharing, This plant nerd is nerding out

The world's largest flower is the corpse flower, but we won't go there..LOL

It's a shame they die after blooming.
Someone from India sent me some seeds once. But Texas is a bit cold for them and they're too large for pots!
They're beautiful, majestic trees.

I hope we don’t have a hurricane this year

Really lovely

Thanks

That said, it's beautiful - thanks for sharing!

On Old Hope Road to boot. 😂😂

Especially in a beautiful place like Jamaica.

Standard JA joke - you live in Hope and die in Constant Spring 😂😂

Beautiful gardens.
