Giant, foul-smelling flower about to bloom at Franklin Park Zoo

Fester the Corpse Flower is getting ready to bloom in the Franklin Park Zoo's tropical-forest exhibit.

Fester is one of seven corpse flowers at Franklin Park Zoo. The other plants are currently off exhibit in the Zoo’s greenhouse. This will be Fester’s third bloom; he previously bloomed in 2012 and 2014.
