A “corpse flower” is stenchily blooming in Seattle at the Volunteer Park Conservatory. “Waldo” will peak soon, so get in line now for a prime whiff. In May, Ted from UC Davis added his own special scent to the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco. Ted’s pollen is headed for Waldo. Last summer a number of huge flowers stunk up the country. UConn had its own titan arum, UC Davis nurtured another bloom, Steven F. Austin State U’s Arboretum in Texas joined in, as did Virgina Tech’s Horticulture Garden. Atlanta’s Botanical Garden got in the act along with Walt Disney World. In 2003, Tiffy at the Fullerton Arboretum at Cal State had her moment in the spotlight. And UW-Madison’s record setting 2001 bloomer is at it again this year.
