Amorphophallus titanum is one of the smelliest plants on earth.

Amorphophallus has been nicknamed corpse flower because the plant has an incredibly foul smell of rotting flesh when it blooms. This scent is produced to attract pollinators who love to eat and breed on meat.

Fortunately, the plant blooms extremely rarely and only overnight. The unpredictable and rare blooms of the giant tuberose attract thousands of visitors worldwide who hope to experience the magnificent sight and disgusting stench.
