The local news was all excited about the blooming of the Corpse Flower at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul. So, I had to swing by on a Saturday to check it out.
Unfortunately, I was not there when it bloomed. It opens for roughly 24-48 hrs every 7-10 years. So, it was a pretty big event. It's a big flower, too! My guess is that it was 10' tall.
It opened 2 days after I was there. And, it was open for about 24 hours.
Apparently the stench is something like rotting flesh. I am actually sorry I missed it. I may need to bring the grandkids there the next time!
