Giant titan in Bonn
Today, we went to the Botanical Garden at 9:30 am (they open at 9) and had to wait only 10 to 20 minutes to see the giant titan. It had almost finished blossoming, but it was impressive nonetheless. And the good thing was: It didn’t stink anymore! 
By the way, the titan stinks like a dead animal in order to attract bugs and insects who pollinate the giant titan.
Here are some pictures I took in the Botanical Garden; click on them to see a larger version.

 How much can these huge leaves carry? This much! |  |

Für die deutschsprachigen Leser: Sogar der Spiegel fand die Bonner Rekordblüte eines Artikels wert – sogar mit einem schönen großen Foto.
