From the U.S. Botanic Garden:

“Announcing our second corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) bloom of 2024. This six-year-old plant blooming for the first time is a result from our hand-pollination using two of our blooms in 2017. Currently standing at 6’9”, we estimate it might open in peak bloom May 8.”
