A rare titan arum – also know as “corpse flower” - has bloomed at London’s @kewgardens. The smell, often likened to rotten flesh, is meant to attract pollinators to the giant flower. Dozens of people queued up to catch a photo and a whiff, as the plant can take up to 12 years to flower but is usually in bloom for no longer than a day. #AFP 📱 Clara CHARLES #titanarum #kewgardens | AFP News Agency
