They call it a corpse flower because that’s how it smells. They don’t bloom very often – like, years – but thanks to the marvels of the Internet, you can watch it bloom live in Denver. Because SCIENCE!
It's getting crowded at @Botanic as #StinkyDBG enthusiasts watch it start to bloom… and wave at the camera. LIVE: https://t.co/G52pna46nu

I used to live about a block and a half from the Botanic Gardens. I’m rather glad that I’m not near there at the moment.
It is also blooming now at the Chicago Botanic Garden…
Can I say I’m really glad development of Smell-O-Vision .. died?
