Does Merriwick Flower Have Lookalikes?
Although a fictional plant, the flower draws from many real-life inspirations, including popular showy flowers.
However, its large size resembles an exotic flower, King Protea from South Africa.
The Merriwick flower only blooms once every few decades, suggesting something similar to titan arum or the corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum).
The corpse flower blooms only once in seven to ten years as it takes a lot of energy to produce a flower after it bears fruit.
