The most smelly flower in the world... smells like death

HERE’S one for those who kick the bouquet ... a monster flower that pongs of DEATH.

The aptly named Corpse flower, or Amorphophallus titanum only blooms for three days a year, if at all. It has a scent resembling rotting flesh to attract insects.

Translated literally, Amorphophallus titanum means "giant misshapen penis." And while the genus Rafflesia may include the world's largest flower, this titan lays claim to the largest unbranched cluster of flowers in the world. At full size, the titan can reach over 10 feet in circumference and stand 9 and a half feet tall.

Known commonly as a "corpse flower" or "carrion flower", the titan releases a scent that smells almost exactly like a corpse, and also gives off a fair amount of heat, which helps to strengthen the decaying-carrion illusion, both of which help the plant attract insect pollenators.

The Amorphophallus is a distant relative of the other gigantic "corpse flower"

Although the flower is naturally found only in Indonesia, since 1889 they have been successfully cultivated in botanical gardens around the world including Kew Gardens in London.
