An Amorphophallus titanum, also known as titan arum, recently bloomed at the Garden on September 2, 2025! Nicknamed the corpse flower due to its rancid smell of rotting flesh, this plant and its extraordinary bloom are a rare occurrence as most require seven to ten years to produce their first blooms, and bloom only every four to five years thereafter. There are not currently any corpse plants blooming at the Garden.
