Blooming "Corpse Flower"

Posted by Lee Odden on Thursday, April 21st, 2005 -

The largest Titan Arum flower in the World is currently blooming in West London’s Kew Gardens. The rare flower has hit 2.11 m and continues to grow.

The Titan Arum flower orginates from Sumatra and is known as the “corpse flower” for a very good reason - it smells like a mixture of rotting flesh, mouldy cheese and dirty diapers.

Fortunately for West London, the flower will only retain its smell for 2 days.
