Describing it as a rare occurrence, SFC said the blooming of this remarkable plant, renowned for its colossal size and distinctive smell, was found at the park’s Waterfall Trail.

"The blooming of Amorphophallus is a truly unique and ephemeral event. Known for its striking appearance and its peculiar scent, reminiscent of rotting flesh, this captivating plant attracts curious onlookers from far and wide.
