Check it out here.

So far the stink isn't that bad, but it was much more closed when I saw it two hours ago. It smelled like mold. It will probably be fully opened by tomorrow. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

It's in an enclosed conservatory - there are definitely tons of bugs there, but is relatively clean. When it opens fully, I am not sure how it will be affected.

Yeah - one of the helpdesk guys here.

I'll let you know tomorrow - bringing the wife over. She'll know if it smells like my socks tomorrow. D:

Just keep kids named Dennis away from it...

That is cool! Is there a line to see it yet?

Plus you have to add it to the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_publicised_titan_arum_blooms_in_cultivation

So you're saying your job stinks? 😉

 

[Arcadio]

Ohhh. I'm coming to your workplace to check it out tomorrow. Make sure you've got some fresh coffee ready. I'll bring the biscuits.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Woah that thing is huge. I thought it was just normal sized till I saw a person's head next to it. At what point is a flower considered a tree? 😛

Yeah, the lines are long already. I just saw it and snapped this pic.
I don't have any idea how to edit a wiki page...

What a cool display. Gorgeous setting. Other places have them in what looks like their lobby.

when a corpse flower blooms in a conservatory i assume they collect/apply pollen and whatnot to make more corpse flowers, is that correct?
