Voodoo Lily opens in the Greenhouse at Colgate University

The Colgate greenhouse welcomed the opening of one of its most repulsive residents: the Voodoo Lily (a k a Devil's Tongue and Amorphophallus konjac).Biology professor Eddie Watkins (http://www.colgate.edu/facultysearch/FacultyDirectory/eddie-watkins) writes: "The Voodoo Lily is flowering and the smell is lovely. This sweet little addition to our botanical family weighs in at a whopping 26 lbs. and stands at 5 feet tall. Over the course of Wednesday and Thursday, we expect Big Lily (as we lovingly call her) to continue opening and release even more potent bouquets of smelly gym socks mixed with rotting meat dabbled with hints of soiled baby diapers."Visit http://www.colgate.edu/biology for information on this major at Colgate.Subscribe to our channel for more videos from Colgate University.Colgate University (http://colgate.edu) is a highly selective residential liberal arts institution distinguished by academic excellence, interdisciplinary inquiry, and increasing student digital IQ.
