Mitchell Park Domes’ rare, stinky ‘corpse flower’ is blooming for 24 hours on Tuesday

Amorphophallus titanum is native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The Domes received a gift of a dormant corpse flower corm — similar to a bulb or tuber — about 16 years ago from the University of Wisconsin and have since grown more than 10 corpse flower corms from the original.
