Putrid-Smelling Corpse Flower Finally Blooms: Watch It Live

http://www.livescience.com/55593-corpse-flower-blooms-nyc-watch-live.html

Normally, the smell of putrefying, decaying flesh wouldn't be cause for celebration, but it is today, with the blooming of the rare but stinky corpse flower at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). Horticulturalists have been eyeing the flower since July 15, when they spied a bud on the rare plant. Corpse flowers bloom only once every seven to 10 years, and this is the first time that this particular plant has blossomed since the NYBG acquired it in 2007, they said.

If they had a corpse flower in the botanical gardens near us I would be interested to go and watch it bloom. Even if I had to hold my nose at the same time!

I, for one, am thankful that smell-o-vision was never a thing, to later be converted to smell-o-net. :P
