..."This particular plant, nicknamed Morticia, came from the Chicago Botanical Gardens three years ago. It's located in the Zoo's Education Building.
Atkinson says the corpse flower is native only to Sumatra, Indonesia. He says there aren't many in the wild, and not many in collections.
“We do a lot of great conservation work with animals, and it’s just great to have something that really highlights there’s a lot of beautiful and interesting plants that need our help, too,” he says.
The Zoo will announce Morticia's blooming on social media."
