Rare opportunity

We in the Twin Cities have a rare opportunity today. There is a plant in the Como Conservatory that is blooming right now, and it only blooms once every 15 years. And then only for two days. Sorry, Karis, I doubt you will make it back in time. Too bad.

So anyone want to go? Well, I guess in the interest of full disclosure I should mention that this plant from Sumatra is called the corpse flower and smells extremely repulsive. It's not really pretty, either. So are you interested?

Nah, me neither.
