    From little things glorious fetid things grow. Corpse flower blooms, once vanishingly rare, are becoming more commonplace in Australia.

    “Australia has one of the highest flowering events in the world,” said Matt Coulter, senior horticulture curator at the Botanic Gardens of South Australia. The country was among the top three places for the number of corpse flowers blooming, he said, with plants coming to an age where they were likely to flower more often.
