YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

An endangered tropical plant that emits the stench of a rotting corpse during its rare blooms started to flower on Thursday, for the first time in 15 years at the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney, Australia.

Dubbed the “corpse flower,” the plant's scientific name is amorphophallus titanum but she's Putricia — a portmanteau of "putrid" and "Patricia" — to her fans who have been lining up to view her.
