The Last And The Largest Corpse Flower Blooms At Botanic Garden

Currently towering over the atrium in the U.S. Botanic Garden, the third corpse flower of the season is the largest and the last one to bloom.

The plant started unfurling around 6 p.m. on Monday night, emitting its signature stench. At 100 inches, or 8.3 feet, it's not just the biggest of the latest bunch, but the tallest corpse flower bloom in the history of the Botanic Garden.
