About 6,000 people stand in line on August 24 to view the Huntington Library's fifth corpse flower after it bloomed the day before, eagerly awaiting their chance to smell the plant's foul odor. Amorphophallus Titanum is known for its rare bloom and the smell, which was described as smelly garbage, rotten meat and spoiled eggs. The flower was measured at 64.5 inches. The Huntington Library had its first corpse flower bloom in 1999. Photo: Yu Yan
