A corpse plant blooms

I had never heard of a corpse plant until we got word that one was about to bloom in the basement of a Summit restaurant, the first ever in New Jersey.

So I set up a remote camera that captured a photo every four minutes. It took three days before the plant bloomed. A photo every four minutes for three days, that’s a lot of photos.

The bloom only lasted an hour instead of the normal day or so but the experts were surprised that an amateur growing a corpse plant in a basement got a bloom at all.
