Perhaps, flowers are associated with femininity, a delicate sweet aroma and summer for everyone. But Mother Nature, along with evolution, created something directly opposite to our ideas about the world of flowers. And that rotten, stinking flower that you haven’t watered for a month after you went on vacation will seem like a heavenly creature with a wonderful aroma, in comparison with the winners of our selection.

Firstly, the plants discussed below exude bad smell decomposition, putrefaction or excrement. The target "audience" of these flowers are flies, dung beetles and other insects with a perverted sense of beauty.

Secondly, this smell is only a bait, and not at all a weapon, which everyone who heard it thought of, because some of the plants are predators. Some of the “exhibits” below are also the largest on the planet.

A fleshy and succulent plant that resembles a cactus. It has no stems, but the flowers are covered with fibers, spots and look like an inhabitant of the deep sea. This is probably why its other names are star cactus, starfish, large toad flower, etc. In Stapelia gigantea, flowers reach about 40 cm in diameter, and the greater the stench they emit - the smell of decaying flesh is so popular with flies, larvae and beetles that they crawl right into the center of the plant, where the reproductive organs are located.

This plant comes from South Africa, but many grow this stinking flower in their stone gardens or as a landscape decoration.

Gidnora with a fleshy crown grows from sandy soil in the deserts of South Africa.

While spreading the suffocating smell of death around itself, it attracts small pollinators. The beetle crawls into the very epicenter of the “aroma” through the cracks between the petals, pollinates the plant, looks for food or lays eggs.

Meanwhile, the plant itself feeds from the roots, which go deep into the soil, clinging to other people's roots. The ground part of this plant can be conditionally called a flower; in fact, it is a calyx with a rough, sand-colored outer surface. Inside, the surface of the gidnora is more delicate and changes color from white to blood-red, which also attracts various insects, but mainly carrion beetles. Also, this stinking flower is very similar to the worm from the movie Tremors.

The pale and tough integumentary tissues of the lily are covered with dark, dense hairs, which resembles peeling fur on a dead animal. The flower exudes the smell of rotting, which attracts corpse flies and blow flies.

On the first day of flowering, the stigmas of the pistils open, that is, the female stigmas, the flies bathe in nectar and lay offspring. The next day, the stigmas of the pistils close, the stamens open, the sticky bodies of the insects become dirty in male pollen, the smell of which encourages the insects to flee, that is, to another stinking flower. This is how cross-pollination occurs.

On cloudy days, when there are practically no insects, Helicodiceros is able to raise the temperature so that its smell spreads much further, attracting other flies. It grows in the northwestern part of the Mediterranean region.

The largest stinking flower in the world, also known as the Voodoo lily.

Grows in flat areas, preferring the tropics and subtropics of southern and western Africa, China, Madagascar, India, Nepal, etc.
It blooms once every 10 years, perhaps accumulating all its strength just for this flowering. At the age of five years, a bud begins to form; a cob-shaped inflorescence of dark burgundy color appears on the surface of the stem, which consists of male and female flowers, covered with a dense hood on top. The height of the cob is about 70 cm. Some sources claim that Amorphophallus titanum can grow up to 4 meters in height. Outside are located male flowers, and below, hidden, are female.

Polite Englishmen call the aroma emanating from plants “bad fish,” but in reality it is simply impossible to describe it in words. However, this is the smell that is needed in order to attract the insects necessary for pollination. At this time, the cob itself warms up to 40 C from the inside, this is also necessary to attract pollinators and more. Usually, the ceremonial flowering of the giant occurs in front of a crowd of tourists coming from all over the globe. The lifespan of Amorphophallus is about 40 years, but it blooms only 3-4 times in its life.

Pale yellow flowers that grow mainly around ponds and lakes. This smelly flower smells like a scared skunk. This quality is responsible for attracting pollinating insects. Other famous name This flower is skunk cabbage.

Lysichiton is also able to raise the temperature in order to survive in frosts, so that the snow around the flower melts.
Habitat: swampy areas, banks of rivers and reservoirs in North America. North American Indians used this flower for food, boiling it several times, because... When eaten fresh, the plant causes acute pain in the stomach. They also used it to treat various ailments.

Habitats: China, Japan, North America and Russia - on Far East. Prefers damp and damp places, flooded meadows, river banks and swamps.

The appearance of simplocarpus is very exotic, especially against the backdrop of barely melted snow. It is a burgundy, dense and leathery hood with a pointed end that hangs over a round cob yellow. It is characterized by a pungent odor that can be described as carrion with garlic, so attractive to pollinating insects.

A climbing plant with dense greenery, oval leaves and a stinking flower. Large-flowered Aristolochia has flowers about 20 cm in diameter and 50-60 cm long, exuding a strong carrion smell, which insects really like. The flowers themselves “have a secret”: when a fly decides to get out of a flower, having eaten nectar, the fibers covering the surface of the calyx prevent them from getting out. The insect flounders for a long time until it pollinates the aristocholia. The villi wither under the influence of pollen, and the fly moves on. The flowers themselves look very impressive against the background of dark green foliage - regular heart-shaped and dark burgundy color with white veins, so the plant often serves as a landscape decoration.

Flowering tree plant. During flowering, it emits the smell of organic decomposition. Pollinated by flies attracted by the smell.
The radius of the scent varies depending on the species. The flowers of Sarpanthus Palanga smell like long-dead animals, have a dark purple color and a harmless appearance.

The stinking flower of this plant exudes such an unpleasant odor that among the ancient Romans he was the god of manure, and the name of a whole species of plants with a very unpleasant odor is dedicated to him. Sterculia foetida blooms only in its natural environment, spreading the smell of excrement. Flowers appear first, attracting pollinators with their scent, and only then leaves appear.

This is a mushroom that would be suitable as a setting for an alien movie.
Before the lobes open, it looks like a large egg with a heterogeneous bumpy surface, off-white in color with brown and pink spots at the base. Later, when its blades open (3-8 pieces), it takes the form of a red star-shaped flower, the petals of which look like slippery tentacles. The inside of the plant is spongy, lumpy, and covered with brown mucus. It emits a corpse-like odor that attracts insects that spread its spores.

Another mushroom whose smell can be confused with rotten meat. Popularly called starfish mushroom. Literally translated "disgusting redness." The rotten smell attracts insects that carry its spores. Widely distributed in Australia.
