Titan Arum! aka "The Son of Stinky"

I'm going to see the Titan Arum tomorrow, otherwise known as the corpse flower. It blooms only randomly and blooms are a media event. They last had a bloom at Huntington Gardens in 2002, when the parent plant of this one bloomed. Its 1999 bloom produced the seed for the current plant, the "Son of Stinky."

I'll be sure to take some pictures of it. I hope it's open by tomorrow!
