The Corpse Flower Blooms
May 16, 2007

Time lapse video of the Gustavus Adolphus College corpse flower (titan arum) named Perry as it bloomed on May 12th, 2007. Apparently, the rarely-blooming flower smells like rotting meat. Mmm-mmm!

Bloomeriffic! How long did you have to hang out to get the footage? Did you have to get permission from the location?

The footage is actually from the college's webcam. Sadly I didn't get to see the flower in person...
