Our department was already excited about the #corpseflower but wow, what a botanical name! amorphophallus titanum (Greek students, stop giggling!)

[KU Biology @KUbiology]

Exciting news from our greenhouse! One of our Amorphophallus titanum, also known as the corpse flower, is going to bloom this week! These flowers only bloom once every 4-5 years (and smells like rotting meat to attract pollinators)! #sciencetwitter

[KU Natural History Museum @kunhm]

KU #CorpseFlower update from KU Greenhouse Manager Sam, who is doing a tremendous job caring for it! 🎉 It is blooming tonight! 👀 #KUCorpseFlower
