Corpse flower becoming a bit smelly

While the UWRF corpse flower prepares to bloom...maybe later today or tomorrow (or whenver it's ready), a faint "aroma" is now coming from the plant. The public is welcome to view the plant from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. today and 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9. For more information on visiting hours and a live stream of the plant's progress, visit http://www2.uwrf.edu/college-of-agriculture/CorpseFlower.htm.
