The Corpse Flower's Putrid Bloom

This is a 'corpse flower. '<break time='1s' /> It's a massive, 10-foot-tall plant that,

when it blooms smells exactly like rotting flesh. The flower, which only blooms

for 24 to 36 hours once every few *years* evolved this bizarre, putrid stench to attract its pollinators:

carrion beetles and flesh flies which are normally drawn to dead animals. It's so rare and

so foul that when it blooms thousands of people line up just to get a whiff. Follow 'The Bizarre

Truth' for more.
