One of the world's rarest flowers, with a scent that has been compared to the smell of a rotting corpse, has bloomed at the Auckland Domain Wintergardens.
The amorphophallus titanum, better known as the corpse flower, is native to Sumatra, Indonesia, and blooms at notoriously unpredictable intervals.
During this time, the flower omits a foul-smelling stench which is so bad, people have been known to faint in its presence.
Thousands of people went to view the flower when it last bloomed in 2015.
The Wintergardens had extended their hours for those wanting to smell the corpse flower, who had until 9pm on Saturday and 7.30pm on Sunday. This time could be extended if there was demand.
Are you game enough to have a smell?

Create your own messages and drawings in colouring books (designed by kids from all over the world) that will be sent to kids in Haiti, Uganda, and Sierra Leone. They’ll find your message when they get their books! We’ll also be colouring and decorating the box that will be sent to the community.

For an optional $10 you can sponsor a book to be part of the project, and you’ll also receive your own book, so your kids can see life through the eyes of another child.
