Amorphophallus titanum

I posted about the corpse flower at the Missouri Botanical Garden a little while ago-- it is blooming NOW! There is a LIVE FEED at http://bit.ly/2sVpdCY (I shortened the URL for convenience) if anyone wants to see beautiful ✨Octavia✨! Hurry!! I think it blooms for only a day! #corpseflower #live #mobot #stl

@janelleabella Check out the link above! Found the live feed for the corpse flower! 🎉

I'm watching it!!!!!thank you! Now I'll be up all night lol☺😘😁😂😉🙌👍

So I had to cheat and watched the older one I'm falling @gracehong asleep(135am) was cool utube has a video from the top and side view!!

@gracehong it's open!!!!

@janelleabella Yay!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🌜🎉🎉 Haha I'll have to find it on youtube too now... Octavia was beautiful but the camera angle wasn't the best was it?? Thanks for reminding me to look there!! 💛💖

@gracehong scroll down on that page it was from you tube and from 2 angles. Thank you for sharing with me!! When the on at bufdlo botanical gardens starts to bloom I'm packing up my nose plugs and going!!

Oh that's brilliant 👌👌👌👌👌 I'll have a look- never got to smell or see the one here in Edinburgh last year it was a massive line 👌👀👌

I hear this flower reeks! Regardless, it is a rather interesting species. You tube has '15 of the most interesting (or weird) plants' and the Corpse flower comes in at #3! Its worth a watch! Thanks for the link gracehong, my daughter and I thought it to be very unusual....but, "really awesome!!" (she said.)

@janelleabella Ok I'll look for it!! Definitely go and please share on GT if you see it!! 😍👍🏼

@Naomi126 Yeah that's what I've heard!! I'm so curious about the smell! 😆😮

@stefanie050674 That's very cool!! I believe it! It's one of the most unusual flowers I've seen for sure!! 😮💕

I can't wait for this mama to bloom!!! I might not be in town to catch it, but I'm going to try my best to see it if I can 😍🍖🌸 #corpseflower #stinky #mobot #notmygarden

Oh wow I've never seen or heard of this. I'm gonna look it up , I can't wait lol

Omg !!! I know now ! I've heard about these. Nose plugs needed lol

@janelleabella @suzyw Omg yes!! Apparently one year it was so bad you could smell it from the parking lot, and some people left without even entering the gardens 😂😂

@gracehong lol , I'm gonna check our botanical garden now curiosity....

@gracehong blooms every 6-10 years and lasts between. 24-48 hours! You better go !!

@janelleabella I'm def going to try my best!! They have a live feed up too I think if I don't make it... :D

I'd like to know what site @gracehong

@janelleabella I'm not sure where the live feed would be! Maybe searching "MOBOT corpse flower"? If I find it, I'll let you know :))
