1:40Now PlayingColorado is at the center of the botany world as a rare flower has bloomed at Colorado State University.
A corpse flower bloomed Saturday at the College of Agricultural Sciences’ Conservatory at Colorado State University.
The plant, which can grow up to 8 feet tall, releases a corpse-like smell during bloom. The smell aims to lure pollinators like carrion beetles and flies. The stinky flowers are at the base of the plant.
It's the first bloom for the flower which has been under the university's care for seven years.
The public is invited to view (and smell) the corpse flower while it blooms. There is also a free web live stream of the corpse flower bloom.
Colorado State University (CSU) said the flower — named Cosmo — had 4,444 visitors on Sunday with wait times ranging from one hour to 90 minutes.
