In other peak bloom news – from the US Botanic Garden: “We have two Amorphophallus villosus blooming! These cousins to the larger corpse flower Amorphophallus titanum are standing about 6 feet tall. And if you want to smell the famous stink, come on over! This morning they are giving out quite a stinky smell. This species is native to Vietnam.

For those that haven’t seen them yet, the two Amorphophallus villosus blooms are still standing and still have some stink to share.”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
