Has anybody heard of a corpse flower on display currently? and Fresh water couch inflorescence

Has anybody heard of a corpse flower on display currently?



Latin name: amorphophallus titanum (giant shapeless penis), the largest inflorescence in existence, with the scent of rotten meat.
It's quite an impressive sight, the "flower" part being like 6 feet high, surrounded by a purple skirt, and smelling like a corpse.
I saw one some years ago at a botanical garden, and everybody came in saying "Where's the flower?" In the botanical garden! LOL It had thousands of flowers! But the "stinky flower" was the one everybody wanted to see.
So, If there is one on display not too far from me, I'd like to visit it.
I guess there isn't one on display. I thought I heard there was.
