MILWAUKEE -- Officials at the Milwaukee Public Museum expect the so-called "corpse flower" to bloom very soon.
The museum's curator of botany, Neil Luebke (LIHB'-kee), says chances are good the titan arum will bloom Monday afternoon, close early Tuesday, open again that afternoon and then close for good sometime Wednesday.
The flower is known for its odor of rotting flesh. It comes in waves and attracts carrion beetles and sweat bees in its native rain forests of the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

The museum obtained the plant in 2002 from a seed produced by University of Wisconsin-Madison's flower. It takes six or more years to flower and this will be its first flowering.

I used to live not far from a mushroom farm and you could drive up to the front gate and the guard would have ‘lunch size’ brown bags of bellas for sale for 80¢ ...you’d get about 2 lbs. Good stuff!
I would love to find some morels. It would be an epic moment!

It cannot smell any worse than one of my female coworkers. YUCK! Perfume will never cover up a truly dirty person, and the thing is, she’s fairly young and would be pretty attractive if she didn’t reek so friggin bad.
