People across the globe are seriously injuring themselves playing ‘Pokemon Go’. And now, a massive flower that smells like death is about to bloom in New York City. What a time to be alive! You’d have to be a patient gardener to take care of this plant. The Amorphophallus titanium, also known as the ‘corpse flower’, one of the largest flowers in the world, has begun blooming at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) and is set to bloom at other gardens across the United States. The corpse flower has already gotten more than its 15 minutes of fame this week – it was mentioned in the teaser trailer for the long-awaited ‘Gilmore Girls’ revival. A newly planted corpse flower takes about 10 years to bloom; already established plants take as few as three to four years, or as long as seven to ten years. The team at the NYBG has carefully tended to their plant for 10 years waiting for it to bloom – there hasn’t been a blooming one on display at the garden since 1939. When the corpse flower blooms, it displays a dark red flesh and gives off a not-so-pleasant smell that’s been likened to rotting flesh. The flowering cycle only last about 24-36 hours, so there’s only a small window of time to view the rare plant. The NYBG has extended it hours to accommodate more visitors. If you can’t get to New York City, the NYBG has set up a live flower cam, so you can pretend you’re there, while watching it on YouTube.
