I was very lucky to get to the NY Botanical garden this past June to be able to see the Corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) bloom. Its hard to state how large this flower was, they can reach up to 10ft (3m). I missed the it at full bloom, but was happy to see it mostly still open. The smell wasn't as bad as I had anticipated, was definitely on the putrid side, but not very strongly.
Corpse flowers only bloom every 7-10 years and only lasts 24-48 hours. So I was ecstatic to be able to make it to see and capture some photos.
