Measuring 55.75 inches tall, an Amorphophallus titanum, also known as titan arum, recently bloomed at the Garden in July 2024! 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.
