12 Worst Smelling Flowers In The World

Is it true that all flowers have a pleasant scent? There’s no way. Some flowers may appear to be lovely, but as you go closer to them, you will undoubtedly hold your breath. Because certain flowers have a strong odor that attracts pollinating insects such as carrion flies. This is done to attract pollinating insects that lay their eggs in decaying debris.

Western Skunk Cabbage: The Western skunk cabbage gets its name from the skunky odor its blooms emit. Alaska, California, Idaho, Washington, Montana, and Oregon all have marshes and woodlands where this plant can be found. Early spring and winter are the best times to see Western skunk cabbage in flower. The flowers, which are formed like rods, are a bright yellow color. They reach a maximum height of 40 cm. This plant's skunky odor attracts scavenger flies as pollinators.
