There is a very rare sight at Indiana University's greenhouse tonight. The corpse flower, which blooms once every 8-20 years is blooming tonight. The first time it has bloomed since IU has had it. There is a live webcam stream that I'll link, along with some other info. Apparently when it blooms, it smells like rotten meat to attract pollinators in its short bloom phase
Some of you may find this interesting

That's ironic and kind of disturbing if you think about it

Apparently there were a bunch of the flowers introduced about a decade ago thus all of the current blooming.

This reminds me of the Dennis the Menace movie.
