VANCOUVER A massive flower that blooms for just one day every few years and smells like decaying flesh will soon open again at Vancouver s Bloedel Conservatory. Dubbed Uncle Fester, Bloedel Conservatory s Amorphophallus titanum - commonly known as titan arum or corpse flower - drew large crowds when it first bloomed in 2018. The 2018 bloom was the first time a corpse flower had ever bloomed in British Columbia, according to a news release from the Vancouver Park Board. Most years, corpse flowers produce only a leaf, which can reach up to 15 feet in length. But some years, an enormous flower spike – or spadix – will emerge, wrapped in a frilly, modified leaf called a spathe, the park board explained in its release.
