Carrion flower smells like rotten meat. It is also known by the name corpse flower because it stinks like decaying flesh. It is pollinated by unusual agents like scavenging flies and beetles because birds, butterflies and bees do not get close to them.

People almost always think that any flower that they smell will smell sweet. Instead, there are some flowers that don’t smell at all and never will. There are other flowers that may smell great, but they do not smell great to others even though they are the same flower.

However, there are some flowers that smell terrible to everyone. That is because these flowers smell like rotten meat. The rafflesia is a flower that has the largest petals. It almost looks like a flower out of a science fiction movie. However, the smell is awful because it smells similar to a piece of beef that has been lying out in the sun. It is located and grown in Southeast Asia.
