Corpse flower

The corpse flower, scientifically known as Amorphophallus titanum, is a rare and large flowering plant native to Indonesia. It is famous for its enormous size and striking appearance, as well as its strong, foul odor resembling rotting flesh, which attracts pollinators like carrion beetles and flies. The plant's bloom can reach over 10 feet tall and lasts only 24 to 48 hours. Its scent and size make it a notable botanical curiosity and a major attraction when it blooms, helping ensure the continuation of its species by attracting pollinators.
