As you might have noticed, it's a slow week around here so we decided to dig up some of our favorite past CH Videos for your viewing pleasure. Originally aired on 18 August 2006, this episode to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens to see a celebrity of the plant world: the Amorphophallus Titanum, or "the corpse flower," is a rare bloom that's native to Indonesia and known for the extreme smell that it emits when it opens. Last Summer was the first time it has bloomed since 1939.
