Corpse Flower Blooms at URI

A corpse flower bloomed at the University of Rhode Island, drawing massive crowds eager to witness—and smell—the rare, stinky spectacle. Emitting a pungent odor meant to lure beetles for pollination, the plant’s fleeting bloom lasted just a day or two, sparking campus-wide buzz. Though it’s already starting to wilt, there’s a 50-50 chance it’ll revive for another seven-year cycle. Nature’s strangest wonders, it turns out, can draw people together—even if they’re standing in line for a whiff of rot. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
