Popping up on my FYP, all three meters of her, was Putricia the Corpse Flower, the Botanic Gardens of Sydney’s Araceae It girl.

The flower has been said to smell like rotting flesh, wet socks or hot cat food, and only stinks for 24 hours after blooming.

For the first time in 15 years, Putricia - the corpse flower with a vomit-smelling perfume - will flower for only about 24 hours before it withers and dies. Join us for rolling coverage of this long-awaited event.
