An unpleasant, yet thrilling event will take place at a conservatory in Minnesota as a rare, exotic flower is about to bloom, but the aroma is known to smell like rotting flesh.

An infrequent botanical event is about to take place at Como Park Conservatory in Minnesota, but the exciting news stinks — literally. A corpse flower, nicknamed 'Horace' by Como officials, will have its first bloom since arriving in 2019 at the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory in St. Paul. The flowering plant has an off-putting aroma that may have spectators reaching for nose plugs.

The livestream has already been set up, so people can check in as often as they wish to witness the moment. 'While they won’t get to experience the rare, horrific odor, they can witness this once-in-a-generation event, live,' Reinartz added. The corpse flower, amorphophallus titanum, can take four to 10 years to bloom, but the results are short-lived, according to Britannica.
