Roses are red and violets are blue... but some flowers absolutely stink!

In this film, meet the disgusting "smelly feet flower" (Deherainia smaragdina) whose green flowers stink just like feet!

Or the dragon lily (Dracunculus vulgaris) and the voodoo lily (Typhonium venosum) whose amazing flowers stink like rotting fish.

Or perhaps even worse, starfish flowers, which produce inticate, five-armed flowers that absolutely stench like carrion!

Smelly flowers and stinky plants are great fun to grow.

Join Stewart McPherson on a rather smelly journey to discover the world's stinkiest flowers and discover the secrets of growing these pongy plants at home!
