There might be a reason it's rare.

Folks at the University of Connecticut are excited. Rare 'Corpse Flower' To Bloom In UConn Greenhouses, boasts a news release on their website, complete with a webcam for "scent free viewing" of the event. The flower is "difficult to locate in the wilds of Sumatra" and reeks of rotting flesh when open. Do you think maybe there is a reason that no one has seen it in a while? Why is anyone looking for this freak of nature?
