Nearly 20,000 people have visited Sydney’s Botanic Gardens to catch a whiff of an endangered plant known as the ‘corpse flower’ as it blooms.
Called Putrescia, the giant rum plant exudes a putrid odor resembling “something rotting” or “hot garbage” for 24 hours after blooming.
The smell is the result of chemical production that occurs in the plant to attract pollinators.
The endangered flower – native to Sumatra, Indonesia – only blooms every 7 to 10 years in the wild. There are believed to be fewer than 1,000 plants worldwide, including cultivated ones.
