Nicknamed 'Putricia', Sydney's corpse flower is set to bloom at any moment, emitting a foul stench.
Thousands of people are watching a live stream of a flower doing nothing. They're hoping they might catch the moment a rare corpse flower will bloom for the first time in 15 years at Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden . Nicknamed 'Putricia', Sydney's flower is set to bloom any moment — emitting a foul odour for 24 hours before it dies.
"The smell and colour of the flower trick them into visiting and the heat generated by the plant entices them to visit, breed and party," the RBG said in a statement. Paul Nicholson, manager of volunteer programs at the RBG, said: "If you've got some wet teenage socks, throw that into a blender, then you get some cat food you've left out in the sun, whack that in your blender, and then get some day old vomit.
