Longwood Gardens' "Corpse Flower" is opening up!

Here's the livestream lnk:

&feature=emb_logo&fbclid=IwAR371CMHfFuaZxc8vX1jqQL6d5hxx9Nzs2ee2dWho9XYHZhnK-usDl_HXHg

It only blooms every 4-5 years and the whole bloom cycle lasts only 24-48 hrs. It just started opening this afternoon! Viewing the gardens is by timed tickets, and they greatly extended the hours last night and tonight. I imagine they may extend them tomorrow night as well. So far most people I've seen in the live stream are wearing masks.
