Amorphophallus titanum (Araceae), also called "cadaverous flower". Has the peculiarity of blooming only during three (3) days every 40 years.

Huge Flower!

Is that one of those that stinks really bad... like a rotting corpse?

It looks like the leaves are dead.

That would be the one. People that have smelled it says that it smells like a decaying animal.

According to Guinness World Records the tallest one was grown by a botanist in New Haven CT and stands a bit over 10' tall.
