Feed me, Seymour

Soon, very soon, the air around the Fairchild Botanical Gardens will be filled with a strong fragrance. The fragrance of rotting flesh.

No, there hasn't been a mass murder and no cemeteries are having dis-interment problems.

Go ask Alice.

She's 6-foot Indonesian Amorphophallus titanum and will be blooming in days.

Why the fuss? Why will thousands deliberately visit the stinky plant? The plants bloom only twice a decade.
