Stinky, the Denver Botanic Gardens corpse flower, is blooming. If you want to come and smell it, the Botanic Gardens is open from 9am to 8p. Prime viewing is expected to be on Friday, Aug. 31st. The Botanic Gardens says you'll likely have to to wait to see and smell "Stinky." You are allowed to take photos and you can even buy a T-Shirt. In 2015, huge crowds made it to the Denver Botanic Gardens to see and smell the first time "Stinky" bloomed.
