Article published on Joca 235
On January 23rd, thousands of people waited in line for up to three hours at the Sydney Botanic Gardens greenhouse in Australia to witness the blooming of the so-called corpse flower. The plant attracted around 20,000 onlookers interested in smelling its peculiar odor, which has been described as that of rotting meat and a mix of dirty socks and garbage. Aside from the unusual smell, its rarity is striking: no plant of this species has bloomed in the area for 15 years. In the wild, It only blooms once every seven to ten years.
