Dead Horse Arum Lily (Helicodiceros muscivorus) ( rare, exotic and amazing plants)

When a plant’s name has the words ‘dead horse’ in it, you know it’s bad news. H. muscivorus is a giant flower bearing the distinct scent of rotting meat, meant to draw in female blowflies which it captures inside its swollen cavity and holds there through its first night after flowering.

It releases the flies, now covered in pollen, the following day to move on to neighboring H. muscivorus plants.
