According to Radio WTHR, a scavenger flower (Morphophallus titanum, photo) is about to bloom at the Dartmouth greenhouse in New Hampshire, USA, attracting the attention of scientists and curious people.

Scavenger flowers.

The flower originating from Indonesia's Sumatra island is famous for its large size and when hatched it will give off the smell of decomposing meat, often likened to the smell of dead rats or dirty diapers for long, to attract insects to pollination.

Dartmouth University is currently open to visitors and will broadcast live on the scene of blooming flowers so that everyone can admire from afar, if they do not want to approach the 'smelly' flower .

Earlier on October 27, a 4.5m tall scavenger flower hatched in Adelaide's botanical garden in Australia. This species is currently classified as endangered in the Red Book. Flower buds sometimes take up to 7 years to develop before hatching in just a few days.
