Giant Stinky Flower Finally Blooms

A corpse flower named Titan Van Coug,  bloomed for the first time, at Washington State University. Corpse flowers normally bloom once every 7 years, but this one took 17 years to flower. It smells like rotting flesh, to attract flies to pollinate it instead of bees or butterflies. The 10-foot-tall flower only lasts 48 hours.
