Cornell Univ. Corpse Flower has begun blooming.

Wanna watch something that doesn't happen very often? Cornell has live web cams running on the flower, and its going to open soon.

Have Fun!

If not to watch the flower, to watch the people watching the flower....

but i want to watch the people watching the people watching the flower.


what the fuck is this? why are we watching this flower?
what happens if it opens and what what are they doing with the string?

Haha, cool. This reminds me of the Dennis The Menace movie... would be fun to catch it opening.

Little Shop of Horrors, imo. I hope it eats someone.

I don't know what they're doing with the strings. But they've had it for ten years and this is the first time it's going to bloom, then smell like rotting flesh. And 2 days later it's dead.

They bloom like 3 times in 40 years.

lol look at this lady.

way cool

Lmao, I love that mom that leaned that baby way in to get a good look, I hope the plant sprays that child with corpse smell.

im stoked to watch it open.

I can't wait til it starts smelling so I can see everyone covering their noses.

eww. feed me Seymour.

tell them to quit fucking with it and leave it alone.

it'll open when it's good and ready, let it do it's own thing.

It's hard as @#$@# to get seeds for amorphophallus titanum, but a friend got me a few from polland somehow. another project for down the road.

I'm excited to see this giant penis flower. From photos it looks nicer than rafflesia even if they both stink. Very cool.

Rafflesia looks like whale syphilis. cn

Agreed. Not very pretty but still cool, big and proud.

That is slick! . I wonder how long it takes to open once it starts.. Sprays the child with corpse smell? Thats pretty freaking funny Gidget.

Kind of pretty......................

i guess it's open now.

these people have really bad hair... they probably use shampoo.
