In this bonus episode of Branch Out, host Bec Davis chats to Jarryd Kelly, Curator Manager of the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, about the highly-anticipated bloom of the Corpse Flower. Jarryd takes us behind the scenes as this exotic plant, which only flowers for 24 hours and creates an infamously pungent odour, has been years in the making.
