Corpse Flower About to Bloom | Columbus News

Get ready for nature’s ultimate spectacle — the rare, stinky titan arum, aka the corpse flower, is about to bloom at Franklin Park Conservatory. This massive, endangered flower, native to Sumatra, only opens for a day or two before hiding away for years. With a smell like rotting flesh to lure pollinators, it’s a wild, one-of-a-kind event. Six plants are in the conservatory, but this one’s showing signs of life — and it’s in the Pacific Island water garden. Exact bloom day’s still a mystery, but with the spike already rising, don’t miss your chance to witness this fleeting wonder.
