Paragraph 1
People who like foul-smelling flowers were in
this week. They had a
to see and smell the world's smelliest plant, called the corpse flower. A
is a dead body. The flower gets its name because it smells like rotting
. The bloom attracted thousands of
to the Geelong Botanic Garden, just south of Melbourne, Australia. The plant began blooming on Monday. More than five thousand people visited the
to see it. Some people had to hold their
when they were near the flower. Others coughed and held their breath because of the
smell. Australia's Nine News channel reported that visitors described the
as being like a dead mouse or
garbage.
