Corpse Flower by Victoria Pickering
Corpse Flower by Victoria Pickering

The 3.5 foot tall Corpse Flower is currently in peak bloom at the United States Botanical Garden. During this time the plant secretes a smell so foul that it’s compared to that of rotting flesh. My social media feeds have been flooded with images of this grotesque but beautiful bloom. Victoria Pickering’s image wonderfully captures the act of documenting this rare occasion in full, personal point-of-view.
