Rare ‘Uncle Fester’ corpse flower unfurls in Vancouver with a not-so-rancid stench

By MELANIE GREEN StarMetro Vancouver

The now nearly two-metre tall corpse flower produces a smell and a deep-red flesh colour inside the open petal in order to attract pollinator insects like carrion beetles and flesh flies that feed on dead animals. (CORY MORSE / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
