Hold your breath: It’s corpse flower season, and once again botanical gardens around America are eagerly awaiting the bloom of the world’s nastiest-smelling plant.But you don’t necessarily have to brave the pungent fumes to get a glimpse of the action. This week, not one but three botanical gardens launched live corpse flower cams designed to give people a peek of the action. At the New York Botanical Garden, high temperatures slowed the bloom of the about-to-burst flower. At Indiana University, another cam is trained on a bud expected to open soon. And at the United States Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C., the bloom is anticipated to take place anywhere between July 28 and 31.
