GALVESTON, Texas - Something disgustingly cool is expected to happen this Friday the 13th as a very rare, very smelly flower could bloom at any time at Moody Gardens.

This particular corpse flower is named Morticia, she will only bloom every 2 to 20 years and when she does, the smell compares to that of a rotting corpse.

That's why eyes and noses alike are glued to Morticia.

"They are pretty rare," explained Donita Brannon, horticulturist at Moody Gardens. "The only place that they are found in the whole world is Sumatra, Indonesia."

Once the flower blooms the stench can reach up to an acre and is described as rotting fish, old socks and a corpse all rolled into one.

It's a smell nature has designed to attract certain bugs to help with pollination.

According to Brannon, Morticia raised a big stink about 4 years ago which was the last time she opened.

"Typically they don't bloom again for anywhere from 2 to 20 years so the fact that we have another bloom again after only four years is really exciting for us." she said.

This is supposedly one of only 122 blooms ever in the United States and only the 5th one in Texas.

Once this plant flowers it will only stay open for a couple of days. Because of that, Moody Gardens has extended their hours through Sunday, the rain forest will stay open until 8 p.m.

There’s also a web camera on this flower 24-hours a day so you can check in from home to see if Morticia is open. You can watch live here.
