Rare bloom of stinky Titan Arum plant
CGTN

The Titan Arum plant at Kew Gardens in London bloomed, letting out stinky smells like rotting flesh. Also known as the "corpse flower," the plant is endemic to the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. 

The flower only blooms once every two years. In cultivation, the titan arum generally requires 5 to 10 years before blooming for the first time.
