Washington State University Vancouver’s rare corpse flower Titan VanCoug is now blooming and will be showcased on campus from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday.
Due to a watering accident years ago that cloned the plant, visitors will be able to see the flower in three different stages of life — an ultra-rare glimpse of an already ultra-rare plant.
The flower is located indoors at the Science and Engineering building’s east entrance; the sheer size of the plant and its 10-foot-tall leaf prevent it from being moved outside this year. Parking will be free all day Friday. The campus is at 14204 N.E. Salmon Creek Ave.
Driving directions and a campus map can be found on the school’s website.
