A number of tropical plants, including the fairly common stapelia house plant have blooms smelling of rotting flesh. It draws insects, which pollinate the plant.

This Corpse flower has been on the news day and night, The first 50 or 60 times I heard about it it was interesting. But now I am sick of it. I thought when it finally bloomed they would stop talking about it but now they have the ruined weding to talk about, so on it goes.
