Apparently there are times when a giant smelly penis is a good thing.  And yes, that is the last sentence I thought I’d ever type out. 

The National Botanic Garden of Belgium is home to the Amorphophallus Titanum (which literally translates to “the giant strangely shaped penis”), a huge, foul smelling plant that springs forth a rare penis flower that only survives 72 hours. And this thing is a huge hit!

Gert Ausloos, Head of Education at the garden calls it a  ”a botanical superstar.”  ”It’s there for a short time, it’s glamorous, it’s big, it produces something special … it’s star quality.”

But not only is this massive plant awe-inspiring to see, it is breath-taking to smell as well.

Visitors compared the smell to rotten fish, others to rotten meat or old cheese.

Sounds delightful!  Sure, genitals have been likened to flowers in the past (hello Georgia O’Keeffe), but this takes the cake.  The stinky, stinky cake.

As excited as I usually am by fetid, limp weiners, I think I’ll pass on this one.  This is one green porn joke I won’t even touch.
