2021 Corpse Flower Bloom

A corpse flower -- one of the biggest, stinkiest flowers in the plant kingdom -- is expected to bloom at North Carolina State University. Guests may visit the bloom at NC State’s Tropical Conservatory, which is part of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences’ Department of Horticultural Science. You’ll find the titan arum, or corpse flower, in the Marye Anne Fox Undergraduate Teaching Greenhouse Complex. 

OPEN: The conservatory will be open to registrants from 9 am - 7 pm Tuesday, July 20th, and Wednesday, July 21st.

MASK REQUIRED within the greenhouse and while in line.

PARKING: The PAY LOT of Dan Allen Parking Deck is the nearest parking Monday - Friday.

Through classroom instruction and hands-on learning in our greenhouses, field labs and community gardens, our students prepare themselves to support economic development and environmental sustainability wherever they may go!
