Corpse Flower
A 3-meter flower that smells like rotting flesh/Plants
Amorphophallus titanum produces the largest unbranched flower structure in the world, and it smells exactly like death. The stench of rotting meat attracts carrion beetles and flies for pollination. It blooms only once every 7-10 years, and each bloom lasts just 24-48 hours, making it one of the most dramatic events in botany.
