Looks like it turned out to be a bust. Excerpt from the UConn website: "...The Titan has closed. At around 4AM yesterday morning, the Titan flower abrubtly closed. We hoped during the course of the day yesterday that it might reverse that process and reopen but that did not happen. For reasons as yet unclear to us, our flower only lasted 18 hours rather than the customary 48 hours..." The best photo I could scrap up was of some guy wearing a gasmask.

Well dammit JC this is the first I heard of it so I am one happy fellow to see the Roadkill Plant! Haha, you are just old man that’s all. All us young people have yet to experience the world.

every time one of these blooms, it’s all over the news… sheesh… They don’t bloom often, sure, but there are enough of them in greenhouses that scientists can study all they want… not really all that newsworthy IMNSHO, but neat if you haven’t already read it a dozen times over the last 3 or 4 years.

There are going to be some pretty good photos of people with gag faces from the stink – someone should collect a nice gallery.
