I have been there. I don't remember seeing this particular garden but considering the odor it emits, think I'm just as happy not to be there when it blooms.

Yeah, it doesn't sound very nice. But given it only blooms once every 10 years and it only lasts a few hours, I'm going to try to pop in every once in a while and see if I catch it.

Someday, my grand kids will ask, "granny, where were you when Rosie the corpse flower bloomed?"

I should check with my cousin as I'm not sure if she's relocated to Scottsdale from Tucson yet. She volunteered at the Gardens.

Oh cool. She may be there and give us a first hand account of the odor.

Well hell, that IS the corpse flower already bloomed. Bloomed? that's not a word, is it?

Bloomed is a word. My cousin has moved but texted that she'd seen one in Charlotte, NC when she was living there and thought it smelled like rotting flesh.

I don't think I've smelled rotting flesh, so not sure what that smells like.

Blossomed is also a word. Maybe that's what you were thinking of instead?

I didn't want to ask (or more accurately, know the answer) how she knows what it smells like.

Bloomed looked and sounded really odd in my sentence.

Eww - I have - we had fish washed up on the shore when we lived by the lake - that putrefaction smell is one you don't forget.

Would be also similar to meat gone bad or the rotting smell of a tooth with a bad cavity.

Does a dead body smell like a freezer that has quit working and is full of meat?

Ew - oh my God - you win - I never thought of that one!

I know what that smells like. But not sure rotting animal and rotting human are the same. They need to specify rot type.

(What a conversation)

Corpse rotting smells worse than fish, it's kind of a indescribable odor.. wouldn't the correct term be "in bloom"?
I love it, only on the skmb will you find about a dozen posts about the the odor of rotten corpses..
