One gardener slept in the Botanical Garden to not miss it. You can see it open in this link. It is filmed over a period of 20 hours and shows 3 minutes:

It's only happened 134 times before - the flower 'Amorphophallus titanum', in Danish "the greatest mutable penis" - has flourished under artificial cultivation.
But right now the convent gardener Rasmus in the Botanical Gardens in Copenhagen quite excited about his "penis changeable flower 'is reaching its climax. Amorphophallus titanum is difficult to cultivate as it requires a very precise wate...ring and an environment where there are high ceilings, high temperature and high humidity. There may be many years - up to 17 - before the plant flowers and flowering items most a few days.
Here are some other pictures from Copenhagen's Botanical Garden:
- I was invited for a dinner party years ago, with all the employees there, while John was working there. What fun it was! :)
