Stinky 'Corpse Flower' Is Expected To Bloom Next Week At Dartmouth College

HuffPost reported that a rare “corpse flower” that gets its nickname from its stinky smell is expected to bloom next week at Dartmouth College’s greenhouse. The titan arum is native to Sumatra’s equatorial rainforests and has a long, pointy stalk with a skirt-like covering and tiny yellow flowers at its base. The plant only blooms for a few days and when it does, its odor has been described as rotting flesh, a decaying animal or even dirty baby diapers.
