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 love how they call it a "retched odor."

I don't think "retched" is an adjective, but it should be!
Usually spelled with a w, but it is an adjective!

Sure, but totally different words and different parts of speech.

"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.
