Titan Arum - the Worlds Biggest Flower

Every few years the Botanical Garden in Washington DC has a flowing Titan arum, better known as "the stinky plant". This picture was taken in 2005. My wife and I waited in line for an hour or so for the privilege of a smell. Actually, there was not much of a smell when we got there; either good ventilation or the smell was oversold.



A quick web search for information on the Titan Arum found a flowing plant at the Princess of Wales Conservatory on 22 April 2007.

Did anyone have a chance to see that plant?
