What causes Plumeria flowers to have a foul smell?
Some Plumeria flowers produce a strong, unpleasant smell, commonly referred to as “carrion” or “rotting meat” fragrance. This is a natural characteristic of certain Plumeria varieties. The distinct scent is thought to attract pollinators, such as flies, which aid in pollination. While the smell may be offensive to some, it is not indicative of any problem with the plant’s health.
