Jamaica Plain News reports the Arnold Arboretum has one of those giant corpse plants and that it could bloom by month's end. But only Arbs members will get a chance to see and smell it.
I don't think "retched" is an adjective, but it should be!
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wretched
"That wretched [adjective] plant made me retch [verb]."
"I retched when I smelled that wretched plant."
I've never heard the adjective pronounced with one syllable, nor the verb pronounced with two.
