Thousands visit Geelong Botanical Gardens to witness corpse flower blooms

The Titan Arum, also known as the corpse flower, produces one of the largest flowers in the world, and it’s well known for its distinctive scent. Native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the corpse flower is a novel attraction in botanical gardens around the world.

Thousands of botany lovers visited the Geelong Botanical Gardens in Australia to witness the corpse flower blooms. The local council opened the gardens overnight so people wouldn’t miss out, while the live stream of the big event was watched by more than 100,000 people.
