AMES, Iowa — After days of anticipation, Reiman Gardens Stink Floyd is finally blooming! However, with only a few hours of bloom time, visitors had better get their quick!

Stink Floyd is a corpse flower, or Amorphophallus titanum, that only blooms every 7 to 10 years. The bloom will only last for 24 to 36 hours, and the notorious stench, often compared to rotting flesh, is strongest earliest on. Reiman Gardens says the bloom started around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.

“The corpse plant is one of the rarest and most fascinating blooms on Earth, and we’re thrilled to share this unique botanical phenomenon with the community,” said Andrew Gogerty, Manager of Marketing and Communications.

Reimen Gardens is offering extended hours during the bloom, with Saturday’s hours extending until 11 p.m. and Sunday opening at 7 a.m. and staying open till 11 p.m.

Normal price of admission applies. General admission is $12. Youth ages 2-12 are $6. Two and under are free. Free for Reiman Gardens members and ISU students with ID.
