[Mothstradamus]

Yes, sirs and madams and non-gender-specified-humanoids!
You heard right!
You can watch the live blooming of the rare CORPSE FLOWER.
What's a corpse flower, you ask?
Well, it looks like this:

and it smells like this:

Now, you, YES YOU, can watch this beauty bloom from the safety of your own homes, away from the stench of rotting flesh! CAPITOL!

Just click right here to be transported to Denver, CO, through the power of the internet!

Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Much love,

EDIT:

Different corpse flower, but here's a timelapse for you all!

The live one is.... well it's dying now. It grew, it bloomed, and now you can watch it die. Live. (Okay, well not die, but go back into dormancy for about a decade. That missing square on the back is where they took seeds and checked up on the internal areas. Neato, eh?)

Looks scary

Looks scary

Oh, there's nothing scary about a ten foot tall flower... until it blooms and is around twenty feet tall and sixteen feet across, of course. Then it's a tad scary. Also, stinky. Horrifically stinky.

Was kind of expecting a time lapse of it blooming...
not actually watching it bloom in real time.

Oh, come on, Greg.
It was about to bloom, it bloomed, and now it's kind of... well... dying.
Now you can watch a massive stinky flower die.

Anyway, here's a time lapse for you. It's a different corpse flower, but there you are!
