you know..in case of the smell of rotting meat is your jam
When it is in full bloom, the plant produces a strong smell similar to rotting meat in order to attract flies and beetles for pollination.
The plant usually takes between seven to 10 years to bloom, but one flower at the Toronto Zoo opened in September 2018 after only five years.
The plant was named Pablo “Pe-ew” Caso in a contest and was widely visited in-person and watched online. It can take several years for a corpse plant to bloom for a second time.
The current blossoming plant has been named ‘Vincent Van Gross.’
To view the plant, guests can purchase tickets at the Toronto Zoo website.
