Live Stoner Chat Rare blooming corpse flower in Denver (non-cannabis)

[Ozone69]

Hadn't heard of this until it started coming up in the Denver news. Interesting flower. From what I've read, they can take anywhere from 7-20 years before they will bloom, and then maybe as long to bloom again. Smell wasn't what folks in Denver were hoping for (supposed to smell like a rotting corpse), for better or worse.

Fun Fact: Sir David Attenborough gave this plant it's common name of "Titan Arum" because he refused to call it the amorphophallus titanum on the air (latin for "Giant, Misshapen Dick").

The more you know...
