from the BBC :
One of the world's smelliest flowers has produced a fruit at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
The rare titan arum, also known as the corpse flower because of its pungent smell, flowered in November and was pollinated by the project's gardeners.
It is now producing a fruit head of vibrant orange berries, thanks to the work of horticulturalist Tim Grigg.
But no-one will be tucking into titan fruit because it is potentially deadly to humans.
The titan arum has been nurtured by Mr Grigg for nine years.
He used a paintbrush to reach inside the giant flower head and pollinate it.
He said: "I couldn't believe that the pollination worked. At the time I wasn't sure, I'm really happy and excited."
