The plant releases a pungent smell when it blooms, hence the name. After about two days, the stench will subside. But that won’t stop plant fans from lining up at the garden’s entrance to get a sniff. If you want to see the plant’s beauty without getting a whiff of the stench, you can watch the live feed of the plant’s blooming inside a greenhouse above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4001556/watch-live-corpse-flower/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4001556/watch-live-corpse-flower/"},"headline":"Watch Live: Corpse Flower Blossoming at the Denver Botanic Gardens","datePublished":"2015-08-18T18:00:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:05:58.138Z","description":"The plant is named after its horrible stench","url":"https://time.com/4001556/watch-live-corpse-flower/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4001556/watch-live-corpse-flower/","name":"Watch Live: Corpse Flower Blossoming at the Denver Botanic Gardens"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Keeping the 9/11 Survivor Tree Alive","description":"See how one company is working to keep the 9/11 Survivor Tree alive","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/l4unBPWp/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-09-11T16:06:24.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/l4unBPWp.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4001556/watch-live-corpse-flower/","duration":"PT2M56S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4001556/watch-live-corpse-flower/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
