Rollins College in Winter Park said an Amorphophallus titanum, a plant known as a corpse flower due to the rotting flesh-like scent it emits while blooming, started to bloom in the early hours Monday.

"It smells like Florida roadkill in the middle of summer after having been left there for a few days," Rollins College greenhouse manager Alan Chryst told the Orlando Sentinel. The plants, native to Indonesia, can go several years -- sometimes over a decade -- in between blooms, so greenhouse staff were surprised to learn their other corpse plant, named Racine, would be blooming Tuesday or Wednesday, Chryst said. The school is live-streaming the corpse flower's blooming. Another Amorphophallus titanum started blooming last week at Grand Valley State University's Barbara Kindschi Greenhouse in Allendale, Mich.
