Vancouver Bloedel Conservatory

Yesterday, I went to the local conservatory to see the corpse flower bloom. It's supposed to smell like rotten flesh, but I didn't really smell anything. It might have been because we waited 3 hours to get in, and by that time, it was evening and the flower had closed. Nevertheless, it was a pretty cool experience. Apparently the flower blooms only once every 6 years or so.
