About this audio guide
This guide to the Ghent University Botanical Garden in Ghent centres on one Sunday in June twenty twenty-six, when a titan arum named Sumatra opened in the garden's greenhouses after months of waiting. It reaches to the rainforests of Indonesia, where the plant has its own blunt local name, and to the crowds who travel to stand beside it. Best heard on the path toward the glasshouses, before you step inside.
