Im looking for this plant as a gag gift. Ive heard of small plants that release an offensive odor when they flower?
I searched hours online with no luck. Anyone know where to find these?

There is a purple passion plant...It seems to be in the wort family, like wandering Jews. When it flowers yeueuweu!!!
It smells like a dead rodent is under something fermenting in the room!!!
Also paper white narcissus smell like cat pee.
There is a beautiful delicate perennial plant, with tiny pink blossoms, that will fart and spark , and .release a noxious gas.
It is called the gas plant.

Some voodoo lilies and members of the genus Amorphophallus give off a corpse-like odor in flower. They don't flower very often, usually not more than once a year, and they have to be old enough; but they're great fun to watch, weird looking. Sometimes almost obscene in flower. Amorphophallus means "shapeless penis," so just imagine. Amorphophallus titanum bears the famous Corpse Flower that looks like a 6-foot tall penis and smells like a corpse. A. konjac is smaller, not small, and easy to grow.
Advertisements don't always mention the odor.
Here's a link to one source, you can search for others:

There's a plant called "Tulbaghia" or "Society garlic." It has an unpleasant sulfurous odor all the time. I like it though, and occasionally put a leaf in my macaroni. It's probably not what you're looking for.
