A stinky flower with a fanatical following is finally blooming.

“The incredibly stinky corpse flower, Amorphophallus titanum, is blooming,” the Denver Botanic Gardens said Tuesday night in a media release.

Botanic Garden staff describes the rare bloom — it can take up to 20 years for a first bloom and then up to 10 years for a second bloom — as an “extremely rare opportunity to see and SMELL the huge bloom that lasts less than 48 hours!”

Botanic Gardens members may view the flower Wednesday beginning at 6 a.m., gates open to the general public at 9 a.m.

This is the first corpse flower to bloom in the Botanic Garden, 1007 York Street, as well as in the Rocky Mountain region, the proud parents said.

The gardens will be open Wednesday to midnight. Public viewing hours Thursday will be from 6 a.m. to midnight. Friday viewing hours will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Viewing of the corpse flower is included with admission price to the gardens, photographs are permitted.

Visitors should expect big crowds.
