Going to cause a stink

Posted by Robin on 9 September 2010 6 Comments

It’s going to cause a stink at Binghamton University’s E.W. Heier Teaching Greenhouse but the staff can hardly wait. One of their largest charges – the Amorphophallus titanum a.k.a. corpse flower or titan arum – is getting ready to bloom and expected to show off its strikingly good looks on or around Tuesday, September 14.

— Another corpse flower is getting ready to bloom. Read more at It’s Blooming Awful! Rare Corpse Flower Expected to Thrill Binghamton University Greenhouse Goers at Newswise, or track the plant's progress here.

    I think someone needs to step up and develop a limited edition “Metis” fragrance in honor of this rare event. Maybe Etat Libre d’Orange would be the perfect choice – after all, nothing could smell more disturbing than Secretions Magnifiques …

    Robin do you recall if there is any corpse flowers in the southeast? I really would go to smell one, but they all seem to be a ways from South Carolina.

      I know there is one at UNC, and there’s another at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota. Might well be more, those are just plants I know of!
