At 81 inches tall, Frederick has officially become the tallest co**se flower ever recorded at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory—and yes, the infamous stench has made its grand entrance.

While Frederick didn’t fully unfurl this summer, the bloom offered something just as fascinating: an up-close look at the rare inner workings of this mysterious plant. Como’s horticulture team carefully opened “windows” in the spathe so visitors could view the clustered male and female flowers inside—key players in the Titan Arum’s unique pollination process.

Frederick’s quick closing, just like past bloom Horace, may hold clues for future blooms. One variable scientists are watching? Overnight light exposure. Could longer periods of darkness help trigger a fuller bloom? Time—and continued observation—will tell.

Even without a dramatic reveal, Frederick delivered a rich opportunity to learn more about one of nature’s strangest and most impressive botanical events.

📰 Read the full bloom breakdown in the August issue of the Park Bugle, available now in print.
