Foul-smelling corpse flower blooms in New York
One of the world's largest and smelliest flowers, Amorphophallus titanum, also known as the corpse flower, bloomed on Friday in New York's Botanical Garden. Interestingly, the flower takes around a decade to bloom and it lasts only about 24-36 hours. The flower has the odour of rotting animals and emits the stench to attract pollinators.
