The World’s Scariest Flowers... or what nightmares are made of.
Corpse Flower
If you ever find yourself in Western Sumatra, be sure to look up this guy, The Corpse Flower, Amorphophallus Titanum. Why Corpse Flower you ask? A fitting name to be sure since it smells like well…a rotting corpse! Mmmmm. But the carrion beetles and flies sure love it. The flower itself can grow up to 10’ tall and is the largest unbranched flower in the world. It blooms once every 40 years only for 4 days!
That sure is a lot of stink!
