The titan root (Amorphophallus titanum) produces the largest inflorescence in the world. The plant is native to the rainforests of Sumatra (Indonesia) and is also cultivated in the EBG. Over Easter, one of Bayreuth's titan arums bloomed for the sixth time since 2014. On Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, more than 6.000 visitors were able to experience the sight and very unique smell of the titanwort live in the Lowland Rainforest House. Also a webcam was specially installed.
