I actually really liked seeing the movement of the other plants around it too.

I'm mainly here because I was too impatient to wait for the one at the Tucson Botanical Gardens to bloom.

I watched the 1993 film Dennis the Menace today and there's a scene with a flower that takes 40 years to grow before dying. I was curious about if it was based on a real fact and I've now found this amazing video. Seeing it die off after opening for only 24 hours made me a little sad. Beautiful stuff.

The blooming of this flower is amazing but what I saw the rest of the plants doing was incredible, they move, they clearly show they are alive and growing. I loved to see these beautiful live greenery moving gracefully. Nature is amazing.

I loved seeing the leaves of the plant to the top left corner opening up and closing every 24 hours. Speeding it up it kinda looks like breathing - lungs expanding and shrinking. Nature is beautiful in how you can see the same patterns repeated in everything, including us humans!

Absolutely amazing! Beautiful. Did anyone else feel sad when it began to die?

I have seen and smelled this plant at a former neighbor's house. It smells like a rotting corpse. It is a tall plant. I believe it is dormant for seven years or so then blooms. Seeing this plant one time is more than enough.

This flower is at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. It just bloomed and is now closing up. We were told it came from the Chicago Botanic Garden. Fantastic

Can't stop watching it. Is like a reflection of life, we bloom and then... all falls. Makes me think.

One bloomed in Adelaide South Australia today. Apparently they’re collecting so many, they’ll have a corpse flower blooming every year soon. The city has been working really hard to put its name on the map.
