You've only got 24-36 hours to experience this massive bloom, which can create a rotting corpse smell that can draw in pollinators up to a mile away
This weekend at Denver Botanic Gardens, you can see — and smell — something fascinatingly rare: the blooming of a corpse flower named Lil Stinker., known colloquially as a corpse flower, is a gigantic tropical plant that, when briefly in bloom, emits an incredible odor that often draws long lines from curious plant enthusiasts.
“This odor is a mechanism for the plant to draw in pollinators, including carrion beetles and flies, from as far as a mile away,” Denver Botanic Gardens said on its website, noting that a corpse flower could bloom as often as every 2-3 years. The gardens are home to two such flowers: Stinker and its mini version Lil Stinker, currently found in the Tropical Conservatory through the weekend.
Once Lil Stinker opens up, the clock is ticking — you’ve only got 24-36 hours to enjoy the s̶m̶e̶l̶l̶ spectacle. (
