Titan arum, also known as the corpse flower, has a large blossom and even larger stench. It measures 2.32 meters tall and 88 centimeters across, emitting a foul odor soon after blooming. Tsukuba Botanical Gardens has produced five of the flowers, which typically wither after three days, since 2018. The corpse plant is native to Indonesia.
