The corpse flower is one of the weirdest and most amazing plants in the world! It grows a giant flower that can be taller than a grown-up, sometimes reaching over ten feet high. But instead of smelling sweet like a rose, it has a terrible stinky smell!
- The corpse flower only blooms for about one to two days every seven to ten years, so seeing one in person is very rare!
- When one blooms at a zoo or garden, thousands of people line up just to get a whiff of its famous stink.
- The plant spends all those years between blooms growing a huge underground stem that can weigh as much as a big kid!
