“The morning after peak bloom for a corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum)”
Check out the action at the U.S. Botanic Garden (100 Maryland Ave, SW):
“Want to see and smell a big stink? We have a corpse flower bloom (Amorphophallus titanum) opening right now (Wednesday, June3)! We will stay open until 9 pm tonight for visitors to see the bloom opening and smell the infamous stench. This corpse flower is 8 years old and is blooming for the first time.

It is 77.5” tall. A second bloom (on left) is expected to open June 3-5. We will open at 10 am Thursday, June 4. (more…)
