Bunga Bunga
Bunga bunga is a phrase of uncertain origin and various meanings that dates from 1910 and a name for an area of Australia dating from 1852. By 2010 the phrase had gained popularity in Italy and the international press to refer to then-Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's alleged sex parties with prostitutes, which caused a major political scandal in Italy. Early use An 1852 issue of '' Hogg's Instructor'' states that "bunga bunga" is the name given by locals to a location near Moreton Bay on the eastern coast of Australia, although this appears to be a mistaken reference to the Bunya-Bunya pine. In 1910 Horace de Vere Cole, Virginia Woolf, her brother Adrian Stephen and a small group of friends pretended to be the Prince of Abyssinia and his entourage.

Amorphophallus Titanum
The titan arum (''Amorphophallus titanum'') is a flowering plant in the family Araceae. It has a large unbranched inflorescence; a tall single leaf, branched like a tree; and a heavy tuber which enables the plant to produce the inflorescence. ''A. titanum'' is endemic to rainforests on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Its flower blooms infrequently and only for a short period, and gives off a powerful scent of rotting flesh which attracts pollinators. As a consequence, it is characterized as a carrion flower, earning it the names corpse flower or corpse plant. The titan arum was first brought to flower in cultivation at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 1889. Since then it has flowered at many botanic gardens. It remains difficult for amateurs to cultivate, but one flowered at a high school in California in 2011. Flowerings can attract crowds of thousands of visitors, and in the 21st century also thousands on Internet live streaming. Etymology ''A. titanum'' derives its n ...
