Putricia The Corpse Flower
She bloomed today...at Frederik Meijer Gardens. This is a Titan Arum (amorphophallus titanum), better known as a Corpse Flower. Meijer Gardens received this plant as a seedling 18 years ago...this is the first bloom. Will be many years before it blooms again. It smells like rotting meat, which is meant to attract pollinators. It is one of the largest flowers in the world.
