Can flowers stink?

Q: Which is the world's stinkiest flower?

A: Titan Arum (Amorphophallus Titanum) also known as the Corpse Flower


Curator Don Murray says, "It is a cross between rotten cheese, dog poo and something dead". Yukkeeeee......revolting stink!

The warmth of 2006 and mild winter to date have encouraged the Corpse Flower into a phenomenal growth spurt and into flower -- an event that usually happens only once every six to nine years.
