Kevin Stephens Juniper Level Botanic Garden

A very rare species of plant in Raleigh is about to do something special. Plant Delights Nursery at Juniper Level Botanic Garden in Raleigh houses the growing Corpse Flower. The plant is 10-11 years old and the tuber weighs 41lbs. Even with previous bloom statistics and measurements our best estimate has been thwarted by mother nature. Kevin Stevens with the Juniper Level Botanic Garden joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the growing flower.
