The "corpse" flower is currently in bloom with a flowering cycle that only lasts 24-36 hours.

According to the New York botanical garden, it will likely be several more years before the flower blooms again.

The botanical garden is livestreaming the flower on a corpse flower cam.

Another flower is blooming at Indiana University's Jordan Hall. The plant was given to the school in 2007 and this is the first time it has bloomed.

The Indiana University flower can also be seen on livestream.
