Every so often, a giant, super smelly flower blooms at a botanical garden, and crowds line up holding their noses just to see and smell it!
The corpse flower can grow taller than a person and blooms only rarely, sometimes once every several years. When it opens, it releases an intense odor like rotting meat, drawing huge crowds at botanical gardens.
A sunflower is a common, cheerful flower that blooms yearly with a mild scent, nearly the opposite of the rare, stinky corpse flower. A rose is valued for its lovely fragrance, nothing like the corpse flower's stench.
The terrible smell mimics decaying flesh to attract flies and beetles, which then help pollinate the plant.
