A rare stinky flower bloomed at a botanical garden in Australia, attracting thousands of people.

According to CNN on the 11th (local time), a rare plant called "corpse flower" bloomed at a botanical garden in Geelong, southern Melbourne, Australia, drawing keen attention.

The flower's formal name is Amorphopalus titanum (Titan Arum). In order to attract beetles and flies during flowering, it is called the "corpse flower" because its unique odor is similar to the smell of rotting dead bodies.

Although the flowering period is not fixed, it blooms only once every 10 years, and the blooming period is only 24 to 48 hours.

When the news of the blooming of the corpse flower spread, about 5,000 visitors flocked to Geelong Botanic Garden from the first day of blooming. Some visitors are said to have revisited several times to watch the process of blooming corpse flowers.

The botanical garden expects the flowering of corpse flowers to continue until this evening, and during this period, the botanical garden was opened 24 hours a day. In addition, live online broadcasts were also conducted for those who have difficulty visiting the site.

There are currently only fewer than 1,000 individuals left in cadaver flowers. Botanic gardens around the world are working to preserve cadaver flowers.
