Rare corpse flower blooms at Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden, drawing comparisons to its famous predecessor "Putricia."

A rare baby corpse flower, known for its giant size and foul odor, is blooming at Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden. Unlike its predecessor, "Putricia," which drew 27,000 visitors and 1.7 million online viewers, this flower is kept in a nursery to avoid disruptions that could harm its delicate condition. The corpse flower, critically endangered and native to Sumatra, emits a smell of rotting flesh to attract pollinators like flies and beetles.
