A rare corpse flower bloomed live at the New York Botanical Garden over a video stream this weekend. The corpse flower got its name from its smell which is said to resemble rotting flesh, bad fish, as well as the bottom of a dumpster after a hot summer day.
“This is the first time that a blooming titan-arum (corpse flower) has been put on display at the Garden since 1939, and this unique plant is unpredictable—it may be in flower for only one or two days,” said the Botanical Garden.
The plant which can grow up to eight-feet tall uses terrible smell to attract dug beetles and flies, according to National Geographic.
“It makes them think there’s rotten meat somewhere to lay their eggs, and then that helps the corpse flower to get pollinated,” said the greenhouse and garden director with the University of Wisconsin’s botany department.
