Giant "corpse flower" raises a stink in Sydney

Believe it or not, at one time this plant was the official borough plant of the Bronx. It was changed only recently. It happened due to an exhibit at the Botanical Gardens in the 1890s I seem to recall. Many people were recently alarmed by the legislators' choice, as it comes from Indonesia! The Bronx has the same Dutch inspired flag as Albany County except it has a wreath also on it. We have to have a corpse flower too?
