San Francisco's California Academy of Sciences is hosting a rare corpse flower bloom, a tropical plant that smells like rotting flesh to attract flies for pollination. The bloom will last 24-72 hours and is the first time the flower has appeared at the institution. The corpse flower, Amorphophallus titanum, blooms once every 7-10 years and releases a powerful odor described as rotting food or sweaty socks.
