The United States Botanic Garden smelled distinctly like a dead body last night, but there wasn’t any foul play involved. One of the garden’s fleeting, foul-smellingits huge size , its ephemeral bloom cycle, and its unique smell – which is often likened to the scent of rotting flesh or hot garbage.
As part of an ongoing conservation project, the US Botanic Garden hosts and breeds more than 20 mature corpse flowers the special flower you’ll need to move quickly. After opening, the stink can linger for about 12 to 24 hours, and the massive bloom only remains visible for about three to four days before collapsing. The smell was strongest when the flower was at peak bloom last night, but you may still be able to catch a whiff if you visit today.
