The Perfect Flower For The U.S. Capitol

From the Detroit Free Press: The long wait is finally over for visitors who have been yearning for a whiff of a giant flower that smells oddly like rotting flesh.
Titan arum, a giant rainforest plant that has been dubbed the “corpse flower” for its terrible smell, finally started blooming Sunday afternoon at the U.S. Botanic Garden next to the Capitol. Experts had been anticipating its bloom for more than a week and extended the garden’s hours for visitors each night.
Garden officials expect “peak smell” to occur early Monday morning, and the flower to remain open for an estimated 24 to 48 hours. Then it will begin to collapse on itself. The last corpse flower to bloom at the U.S. Botanic Garden was in 2007.  http://www.freep.com/article/20130722/NEWS07/307220021/giant-corpse-flower
Let's see, the name is correct- a bunch of corpses with rotting flesh reside in Congress and the foul smell Congress emits probably makes this flower smell like a rose.
