A rare species of flora growing naturally in a house compound in Kampong Lumapas has attracted the attention of many after the photo of the flower went viral on social media last Sunday.

Known as the Stink Lily (Amorphpophallus Paeoniifoluis) or Bunga Bangkai (corpse flower), it produces a strong and unpleasant odour similar to that of a decaying flesh upon blossoming.
