The Golden Gate Park garden announced Monday night that "Scarlet the Corpse Flower" bloomed.
Visitors have their chance to catch a whiff of pungent-scented Amorphophallus titanium flower at San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers.
The flower can grow up to eight feet tall and can produce a not so pleasant smell. Experts say the flower's population has declined by 50 % over the past 150 years. It only blooms every three-to-five years, which lasts about 48 hours.
The last time the flower bloomed was in 2018.

The giant flower is known for not only its rarity at just a couple hundred in the world but for its short bloom period and extraordinarily stinky scent.
