great footage of the "corpse plant", the largest and stinkiest flower in the world. The plant has a really strong smell of garbage or spoiled meat, which is actually key to its survival. Originally from Sumatra, here it's being shown at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens.

  • @smurfboywv ohh ok, thanks :)

  • @ERICx223 No, it smells bad because in sumatra there's no bees or butterflies to pollinate them, they have flies and dung beetles so the plant has to attract them with stinch.

  • Its actually an inflorescence, not a flower. I got one of the tubers a few weeks ago.

  • is it true that plant only smells to keep herbevours away???
