My unique and strange plant s called the Dracunculus Vulgaris. What makes this plant so extraordinary and interesting is that this plant releases an odour of raw meat which attracts flies to the plant in order for them to pollinate the plant. The plant is found in Northern Europe and North America. Despite its weird strategy to attract flies and that odour, this plant is commonly found around and is not harmful to humans. There are many different names for this plant such as Dragon Arum, Voodoo Lily. Snake lily and also the Stink Lily. It's amazing how plants have adapted in order to become fertilized. Below is a video on the plant and how the plant functions.
