World's Largest Blooming Flower in D.C.

I have been watching this in the news for the past few days.

When it reaches its peak, visitors may find themselves holding their noses. The plant's smell is described as similar to rotting flesh or bad fish — earning it the nickname "corpse flower." Flanagan said someone once described the smell as two-day old cooked crabs.
