A rose corpse flower by any other name

Would still raise a stink. Have I mentioned my office is a block and a half away from the Museum? This opportunity is too good to pass up. I'd heard of them before, but did not realize we were incubating one of our very own. It's currently growing at up to an inch an hour - holy smokes. One question, though: Will all the butterflies in the garden keel over from the stench when it blooms? Inquiring minds want to know.

This sounds like a great event to take young boys to in order to interest them in science - See! Study stinky stuff!
