Thousands of people are flocking to the northern Swiss city of Basel to see a giant, stinky flower bloom for the first time.
The amorphophallus titanum – known as corpse flower because it exudes a smell of rotting flesh – is the first to blossom in Switzerland in 75 years.
The Basel Botanical Gardens expects the 6.6ft (2m) plant to attract 10,000 people whilst in bloom.
The bloom is set to wilt late Saturday or Sunday.
