The rare Amorphophallus titanium, more commonly known as the ‘Corpse Flower’ has been named ‘Putricia’ by fans, a homage to its unique smell, which is akin to rotting flesh.

6PR’s Resident Gardener, Sue McDougall joined Perth Today to discuss whether a corpse flower could survive the Perth climate.
