The D.C. Botanical Gardens are absolutely stunning and worth a visit, even if you miss the short window for smelling the incredibly wretched stench of the aptly named Corpse Flower.
Highly recommend a trip.
I was there without any idea that there was a special botanical event. Just wanted to see some plants.
That corpse flower is HUGE! The docent told us it bloomed 48 hours before we got there and that the smell lasted 12 hours or less. We were lucky to catch it in its three days of bloom, especially since apparently that plant was blooming for the first time after 18 years!
We have that as well in Germany.
Called "Titanenwurz" in german which translates to 'giant plant/root'
And it's a "common" (not just a single garden) attraction in various botanical gardens here
Very cool. It is enormous!
