SYDNEY - Described as a deformed banana sticking out of a pleated purple skirt, the giant and stinky carcass flower is again in bloom at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens.

The rare Titan Arum, whose Latin name is Amorphophallus titanium, meaning giant deformed penis, is the world's largest flower.

Found in the equatorial rainforests of Indonesia, the endangered flower stinks like a dead rat and only blooms for two or three days.
