The saying "looks can be deceiving" applies to more than just people.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh has compiled a TOP-3 of indoor flowers that look wonderful, but smell terribly.
Stapelia
Stapelia is known by many names, including starfish flower, star cactus, Zulu giant or toad flower.
During flowering, stapelia looks stunning and, admittedly, smells like rotten fish or meat.
Orbea
Aubrea, which is a succulent by nature, can adapt to almost any living conditions.
Despite the fact that there are many varieties of this flower, they all have one thing in common - an unbearable smell of rot.
Nepenthes
Nepenthes lacks nutrients in the soil, so it also eats insects, which are attracted by a specific smell. The "aroma" of sour milk only intensifies during the process of the flower's "meal".
