A stinky celebration

Colorado State University is preparing for an event seven years in the making: the blooming of a corpse flower named Cosmo.
Tammy Brenner brought Cosmo to CSU in 2016, and has been caring for it ever since. The corpse plant species is known for the pungent smell produced during blooming – and after more than half a decade, CSU's is finally ready to bloom.
- Corpse plant blooms only last 2-3 days, and happen every 3-5 years.
🌿 Smell ya later: The conservancy where Cosmo lives will be open to for public corpse flower viewings – and smellings – each day of the bloom, which is expected to begin sometime this weekend.
