Yes, that&#8217;s right &#8211; the University of Wisconsin has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news.wisc.edu\/titanarum2005\/\">live cam of a flower<\/a>, in case you find watching vegetation not visibly move entertaining. But actually, it&#8217;s a pretty neat flower &#8211; for one thing, if it manages to grow another seven inches (currently it&#8217;s eight foot four inches tall), it&#8217;ll set a new world&#8217;s record. The flower, called a titan arums or &#8220;corpse flower,&#8221; apparently has a terrible smell &#8211; hence the name? &#8211; which is one reason to prefer watching it bloom via the web, I suppose.
