This year's winning Great Pumpkin at the @NCStateFair weighed a whopping 1,965.5 pounds. 😮🎃 How do they grow so big? @NCStateCALS alum Brandon Huber shares his insight: https://t.co/hkmrmssDIY #ThinkAndDo

Measuring at 4 feet, 6 inches tall and 33 inches wide, the corpse flower made its third debut on Wednesday at @NCState 👏 Missed out on all the fun? Let's get up-close and personal with Lupin! #NCStateCALS

#Lupin the @NCStateCALS #corpseflower is open! We asked her caretaker and owner, @bhuber1, to tell us a little more about her. #NCFarmBureau #Lupin2021

Dr. Brandon Huber takes a sniff & photos of his rare corpse flower that just bloomed @NCState. The flower is infamous due to its smell of rotting flesh as it blooms. Huber named his rare titan arum 'Lupin' after a character from Harry Potter. #Lupin2021 #CALSPack

We are thrilled to experience our third bloom of the corpse flower at @NCState, and from the looks of it, it has officially started to bloom! If you're unable to see it in person, join in via livestream: https://t.co/0XUO3QnlMo

Ready for another corpse plant flower, Raleigh? It’s about to make a stink. https://t.co/foIDnHpg3k

[NC State University @NCState]

With one of the largest flowering structures in the plant kingdom and a stench described as "rotting flesh," the corpse flower is unlike any plant you've encountered — and the one living in an @NCStateCALS greenhouse is expected to bloom this month. https://t.co/yJQ6upTgju

Brandon Huber (@bhuber1) grew the corpse flower that bloomed in an @NCStateCALS greenhouse back in August. Now, you'll see the Ph.D. student's name on several competitive produce entries at the @NCStateFair. 🍉🥊🍉 Check out why he loves competitive growing. #ThinkAndDo

This collector-grower built an Eden of rare plants. Now he tackles the challenge to preserve it. https://t.co/DkBxMYZ4j6

Did you miss the blooming of @NCStateHort doctoral student @bhuber1's #corpseflower? @NCStateCALS shows you what it smelled liked if you're curious. #Lupin2016

[NC State Horticultural Science @NCStateHort]

Still want to visit #Lupin2016 the corpse flower? The Plant Conservatory just extended hours until 7PM this evening and Friday. Reservations are going fast! @NCStateCALS @bhuber1 @NCState https://t.co/JNAd1SLTQG

[Brandon Huber @bhuber1]

Lupin is fully open now and you can smell it far behind the greenhouse as of this evening #Lupin2016

[Brandon Huber @bhuber1]

Lupin surprised us tonight by not opening. Guess it needs one more night! Stay tuned! Due to this, expect prime viewing to be pushed a day later being late Thursday through Sunday #Lupin2016

[Brandon Huber @bhuber1]

@CALS_Dean @NCStateHort @NCState We were surprised that it didn’t open tonight despite the dark color. With that we should be on for tomorrow evening as they typically open around sunset when ready

[Brandon Huber @bhuber1]

@NCFarmBureau @NCStateHort Lupin surprised us tonight and did not open this evening as predicted. We now have moved the prime viewing back one more day. With an opening tomorrow night, prime viewing should be Friday through Sunday

[Brandon Huber @bhuber1]

@JeffBaynham Thanks @JeffBaynham hope to see you there!

[NC State University @NCState]

Lupin, the #corpseflower living in an @NCStateCALS greenhouse, is set to bloom any day now. What does it really smell like? And why is it such a big deal? @bhuber1, the owner of Lupin, explains in an @NCStateNews podcast episode: https://t.co/cgc3zvGCMz #Lupin2016 #ThinkAndDo

[Brandon Huber @bhuber1]

The timelapse is viewable at the link below in addition to the sign up sheet. This event is open for all to see but we highly recommend signing up due to fire code limitations in the greenhouse. We are getting close #lupin2016 https://t.co/KnJLuPMeMt
