The zoo reports Pugsley fully opened up today.
We went to see it. You had to stand in a particular spot to smell anything. Even then, it just smelled like something was a little off.
I'll have to find my black eyeliner and pay a visit.
I smelled it today and it does indeed smell.
Was sad to miss "experiencing" this today, due to hearing about it at noon, having a tour of the oldest house in Cambridge booked at 3, and the Franklin Park Zoo closing at 4pm... What is up with all the corpse flowers this year, though?
I had the same question earlier this summer because there has been a glut of these things blooming. Atlas Obscura to the rescue: http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/why-are-so-many-corpse-flowers-bloo...
