A rare moment for our noses to behold! Or fragrance is in the nose of the nose of the beholder! 😊
"With bated breath—and plugged noses—spectators are waiting for the rare blossoming of a giant, rancid flower in Sydney.
The endangered corpse flower, lovingly named “Putricia,” is poised to bloom for just 24 hours at the Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney—the first blossom in 15 years. And the plant has gained a cult following, despite the fact that its aroma has been likened to “wet socks, hot cat food, or rotting possum flesh.”
Thousands of viewers have tuned in to the Gardens’ livestream, though there’s not much to see yet: “Putricia stands silent and tall in front of a brown curtain, comfortably ensconced behind a red velvet rope,”"
