Here's their news release - For the first time in nearly 80 years, one of the largest and most iconic flowers on Earth—the titan-arum—makes a rare public appearance at The New York Botanical Garden for a fleeting spectacle of size, color, and odor unlike any other in the plant kingdom. The bloom of our /Amorphophallus titanum/, known to many as the corpse flower, is a horticultural jewel 10 years in the making. Each day of careful tending and feeding has led up to this moment: a brief (up to 36 hours) yet glorious window in which the enormous plant (up to eight feet high) will unfurl, displaying the striking red interior and uncanny scent to which it owes its name. Whenever the titan-arum blooms, it causes a sensation. This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience what can only be described as a botanical phenomenon—don’t miss it! The /Amorphophallus titanum/ is on display in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory and ready to open any day now. This unique plant is unpredictable and may be in flower for only one or two days, so check nybg.org <http://nybg.convio.net/site/R/…> and follow us on Facebook <http://nybg.convio.net/site/R/…>, Twitter <http://nybg.convio.net/site/R/…>, and Instagram <http://nybg.convio.net/site/R/…> for the latest updates.
