AKRON CORPSE FLOWER 

THIS NEXT STORY OUT OF NORTHEAST OHIO REALLY STINKS BUT IN A SURPRISINGLY GOOD WAY. 
THE INFAMOUS "CORPSE FLOWER" IS OFFICIALLY IN BLOOM AT STAN HYWET HALL AND GARDENS IN AKRON. THIS RARE BOTANICAL BEAUTY SMELLS EXACTLY LIKE ITS NAME SUGGESTSâ€"ROTTING FLESHâ€"AND ONLY BLOOMS ONCE EVERY DECADE OR SO.  YOU MAY REMEMBER 3 YEARS AGO -- THE CLEVELAND ZOO'S CORPSE FLOWER BLOOMED FOR ONLY A FEW DAYS. YOU HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS LEFT TO CATCH A WHIFF OF THE FLOWER IN AKRON -- BEFORE IT CLOSES AGAIN.
