Lady MacDeath Blooms Tonight | Virginia Beach News

Lady MacDeath, Norfolk Botanical Garden’s rare corpse flower, is in full bloom — and it smells like rotting flesh to lure pollinators. With fewer than 1,000 left in the wild and a bloom lasting just two days (possibly not again for 5-10 years), crowds are expected. The garden’s staying open until 10 PM and urging advance tickets. Members get early access July 5th from 7-9 AM. After blooming, she’ll join a conservation project opening in September 2026 — so don’t miss this fleeting, stinky spectacle.
