Titan arum is blooming again for the first time since 2012. The greenhouse will be open to visitors during the day. Titan arum is native to Sumatra and is known for having the largest unbranched inflorescence — or cluster of flowers — of any plant in the world.
It is also known for smelling like rotting meat.
