CORPSE FLOWER IN BLOOM: Visitors flocked to see a rare "corpse flower" in bloom at the New York Botanical Garden this week. The Amorphophallus titanum gets its nickname from its distinct odor of rotting meat that it uses to attract pollinators that feed on dead animals, according to the New York Botanical Garden. The flower only blooms for 24 to 36 hours once every four or five years. | WCAX-TV

Hurry in because she only stays in bloom for a very short period, like a couple of days… and then it’s up to her when she’ll bloom again. | 93Q Houston | Facebook
