Most of the flowering plants are pollinated by the insects and flies. These flies and insects are attracted to them because of their colorful petals or good smell.
But Skunk Cabbage has no colorful petals nor do they smell good like other flowering plants. They emit an odor of the rotten flesh to attract flies mostly carrion flies but also mosquitoes and bees etc.
The stamen and style grow out to be pollinated with other pollen attached to the carrion flies.
