Thousands queue in Australia to smell flesh-odoured corpse flower which blooms every 1000 days
The rare corpse flower, or Amorphophallus titanum, which lasts only 36 hours and has an odour of a “smelly bag of rotten fish” is in a botanic garden near Adelaide
Thousands of people have queued in Australia to smell a rare six-foot “Corpse Flower”, which took almost ten years to grow and is known for its pungent odour of rotting flesh.
The Amorphophallus titanum, commonly known as the Corpse Flower, went on display in a botanic garden near Adelaide and attracted more than 2,500 visitors on Tuesday.
The plant, an endangered species native to Sumatra in Indonesia, produces flowers every 1,000 days which last only 24 to 36 hours before collapsing.
