You've heard of the strange flower that smells like rotten meat, right? Well now is your chance to sniff it in real life.  

A rare Amorphophallus titanum just opened at UC Berkeley's botanical garden. While the garden raises a host of the stinky plants, this particular bloom is called Maladora and it last opened seven years ago. Horticulturists estimate that the stink bomb stick around through Friday and likely won't open again for another decade—so don't miss your chance to witness the strange phenomenon. 

The UC Botanical Garden is open daily from 9am to 5pm. Maladora can be found in the Tropical House.
