Would a plant by any other name stink so bad? An extremely rare corpse flower dramatically bloomed at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden Friday for the first time in Big Apple history — unleashing a putrid aroma of rotten flesh throughout the otherwise perfumey institution.

A rare and revolting spectacle has drawn tens of thousands to Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens, where a foul-smelling flower has finally bloomed.

An endangered plant known as the "corpse flower" for its putrid stink is blooming in Australia - and captivating the internet in the process, with thousands already tuned in to a livestream to witness its grand debut. The titan arum plant, housed in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney, blooms only once every few years for just 24 hours.
