According to the BBC, South Australia's Mount Lofty Botanical Garden grows Amorphophallus Titanium , also known as scavengers for 10 years. Plants begin to flower around two weeks ago and bloom on December 28.

Matt Coulter, who takes care of the scavenger plant for 8 years, said the rotten fish smell of the flower is very strong . "When opening the garden door in the morning, the smell of flowers almost stunned me," Coulter said.

"This is a great thing. I don't think it will bloom. It comes from the Indonesian island of Sumatra, so we maintain warm temperatures for trees in the winter and cool in the summer, copper. time to keep the humidity high, " Coulter said.

Scavenger flowers cannot pollinate themselves. The smell of the tree attracts many bees and beetles that live on animal carcasses. In the wild, these animals will help the plants pollinate. Scavengers will last for 48 hours before they die.
