If it were another Tim Burton movie, however, I would totally be excited about it!

Instead, however, the corpse flower is an actual flower that’s rarely grown, and it’s no wonder—the thing is enormous (we’re talking toilets to Buddy the Elf ginormous here) and very, very stinky. The smell is compared to rotting meat, hence its name.

The flower consists of giant, fleshy maroon petals (not unlike the suit that Beetlejuice wears in the Tim Burton film with the same name, actually) and a tall center that resembles the Oogie Boogie character from The Nightmare Before Christmas (yes, I’m completely hinting that he should do a film about weird plants here—and not just the weirdly-shaped kind! Could you imagine?).
