Being said, this is the ugliest flower in the world but when you look deep down inside, you will be amazed and I think, it deserves to be included in one of the beautiful flowers as well. Indeed, it has worst scent that make you go away from it. It's lucky the foul odor only lasts for a few hours after flower opens and the scent was not yet coming up in which I could come closer to take photos.

It is Elephant Foot Yam, a fascinating flower that last only about 5 days. It is a striking aroid with a flower spike crowned with a bulbous maroon knob and encircled by a fleshy maroon and green-blotched bract. I found it grew alone near the river bank that was partially broken. Considering, this is rarely found, I managed to get some pictures from closer range.

Amorphophallus paeoniifolius, the elephant foot yam or whitespot giant arum, is a tropical tuber crop grown primarily in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the tropical Pacific islands. Because of its production potential and popularity as a vegetable in various cuisines, it can be raised as a cash crop.source
