Stop and Smell the Corpse flower or Voodoo Lilly
With a name like corpse flower, you know the titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum) isn't going to be smelling like a rose.
But until you've gotten up close and personal with the putrid plant, it's not clear just how terrible a flower can smell.
A "flash of diaper." The "essence of rotting fish combined with the essence of rotting onion." "A farm on a hot day, where a cow has died."
