I *so* wanted one of these at my wedding, but Mrs. Fierro wasn't havin' it.

After Google searching I found there's a few of those stinkers here in the US as well. The one at the University of Connecticut's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Conservatory bloomed this summer and the one in the National Mall's US Botanical Garden bloomed last year. The size record is held by the one in Bonn, Germany, whose bloom reached 9ft tall.

I saw the one (named Ted) at University of California, Davis bloom last year. There was quite a long line to see it. Unfortunately, during the viewing hours, its aroma had not yet fully developed.

Wow a large stinking flower in Austraila. Isn't that more of a French thing?

Giant "corpse flower" raises a stink in SydneyIn light of recent events, perhaps it should be renamed the "Australian Labour Party Blossom" Not quite dead, but still stinks..
