“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 was created here at the United States Botanic Garden in 2017, by pollinating an A. titanum in our collection with pollen from another in our collection. The seed was planted in February 2018. 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…)

From the office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:
“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) introduced her bill to rename Rock Creek Park as “Rock Creek National Park,” which would acknowledge the importance of the park for the nation, visitors, tourists, and its central place for District of Columbia residents. Norton said this name would highlight Rock Creek Park as one of the nation’s great historic parks, along with national parks such as Yosemite and Sequoia National Park. Rock Creek is the nation’s oldest federally managed urban park and the third oldest federal park in the country.

“Dry Conditions, above-average temperatures, and below-normal water levels in the Potomac River have prompted a Drought Watch by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments’ (COG) Drought Coordination Committee. A drought watch is triggered when the entire DC region experiences moderate drought, with current conditions some of the most significant the region has experienced in more than 20 years and underscoring the need for Wise Water use and conservation.
DC Water is monitoring conditions in coordination with COG, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Washington Aqueduct which supplies the District’s drinking water, and other regional water utilities. While DC Water continues to provide safe and reliable drinking water service to customers across the District, prolonged dry weather puts added strain on regional water supplies. That’s why it’s important for everyone to begin taking measures to conserve water. (more…)
