It has been recently revealed that the world's largest flower is present at the U. S. Botanic Garden. It has been found that authorities concerned have extended the timing by 8pm.
Garden authorities have done that so more number of people can visit the place and see the flower, which smells quite bad. Since 23005, Elliott Norman, the gardener, has been growing the flower.
It is quite heavy as its tuber alone weighs around 90 pounds. Norman was of the view that the flower smells as if it's a dead elephant. Authorities concerned affirmed that with passage of time, height of the flower is increasing.
To cite an example, the flower's height was 5 feet 2 inches on Saturday. But when the measurement was done on Sunday then the flower has grown further by five inches. Not only it had grown in height, but it had gone plumper as well.
Those who have visited the garden and seen the flower was of the view that it was one of the greatest things that they have seen. Moreover, they do not think that they will be able to see any such thing again. "I don't think I'll ever get another chance to see one of these things", said Paige Gance, 22.
