'The Smelliest Plant in the World' Blooms in London's Kew GardensJune 18 marked a “a momentous day for bad-smelling plants” as two of the “world’s rarest and smelliest plants” flowered simultaneously at London’s Kew Gardens.Both the Aristolochia goldieana and the Titan arum, also known the corpse flower due to its strong odour, were in bloom at the garden at the same time.“Each plant takes several years to produce a flower that can grow up to 3m in height, and is then in bloom for less than 48 hours,” the garden said.The corpse flower blooms once “every few years,” with pollen typically being hand collected and distributed by staff using paintbrushes.Titan arum was expected to be in flower for two to three days and the Aristolochia goldieana flower was expected to be in flower for three days.The scent of the Aristolochia goldieana’s foliage was described by the garden as: “bitter and of chemicals, while the flowers smell like a garbage heap in high summer.”Credit: RBG Kew via Storyful

Houston Zoo Elephant Becomes First to Get New Vaccine Against Deadly VirusA 40-year-old Asian elephant at Houston Zoo has become the first of its kind to receive an mRNA vaccine against a deadly virus that affects the species.Footage released by the zoo shows Tess receiving the elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) 1A vaccine.The EEHV vaccine was developed by virologists at Houston’s Baylor College of Medicine, led by Dr Paul Ling.Its development was the result of a 15-year partnership between Ling and the zoo.According to the college website, EEHV “can cause lethal hemorrhagic disease, particularly in juvenile Asian elephants.” The virus is “the leading cause of death in juvenile Asian elephants born in North America,” according to the college.Speaking in the footage, Ling says, “We’re very hopeful this is going to solve the problem.”The zoo said their team would monitor Tess for the effectiveness of the vaccine and adverse reactions or side effects.It said it planned to vaccinate additional members of its elephant herd, with plans to make the vaccine available to other elephants, including those in the wild.Credit: Kevin Kendrick/Houston Zoo via Storyful
