What Is the Stinky Flower Called? The Corpse Flower and Other Smelly Blooms in India

The stinky flower commonly called the corpse flower, or Amorphophallus titanum, is a rare, odoriferous plant grown in Indian botanical gardens. Known for its rotting-meat smell, it attracts pollinators and blooms only once every 7-10 years. Other smelly blooms like Rafflesia and stinking passionflower also thrive in India's humid regions.
