Дата публикации: 15-05-2026 13:09:40
A rare and stinky corpse flower is blooming at Temple Ambler!
According to Temple University officials, corpse flower blooms are rare events. In fact, this particular flower, named “Little Stinker,” last bloomed in 2021.
“It’s the Return of the Living Corpse Flower — the Revenge of Little Stinker! Little Stinker!” the university wrote.
During the bloom period, which typically lasts about 24 to 36 hours, the flower gives off a strong scent of rotting meat attracting flies and beetles, according to experts.
Moreover, these fascinating plants can grow to about seven feet in height and weigh up to 150 pounds. As of May 13, 2026, “Little Stinker” was 49.5 inches tall, according to officials.
“Little Stinker” is available for viewing — and smelling — at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture Greenhouse Education and Research Complex, located at 580 Meetinghouse Road.
“We invite you to visit the greenhouse to see and take a giant whiff of the plant infamous for its rotten odor—they don’t call it a corpse flower for nothing!” the university said.
Those interested in seeing this corpse flower in person will have a chance to do so on Friday, May 15, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Registration is required.
There is a $10 registration fee for general admission and a $5 fee for Ambler Arboretum members, Temple University students and alumni. Proceeds will help support the Ambler Campus, the Ambler Arboretum and its programs.

If you want to see the corpse flower but not smell it, don’t worry. Temple Ambler also has a livestream of the blooming corpse flower on its YouTube page. Click here to view the livestream.
