Just ran across this article so didn't realize this was going on, but apparently there was a Corpse Flower that bloomed at my local conservatory. The flower only blooms once every 6 years and emits a rotting flesh odor to attract pollinators like flies and beetles. They named this one 'Romero' after George Romero who is from Pittsburgh. Too bad it didn't bloom over Halloween. Would of been fitting. Never heard of this type of flower before.
