A large rainforest plant known as a corpse flower because of its awful smell has bloomed again at an Ohio State University greenhouse, and there's more excitement because another corpse flower there is expected to open soon, a spokeswoman said.

A 6-foot titan arum, nicknamed Woody after Buckeyes football coach Woody Hayes, opened Tuesday to reveal its bold, reddish-purple color and release its rotting-flesh smell a little over two years after it first flowered.
A second corpse flower opened briefly at the greenhouse last May, and a third is expected to open for the first time in seven to 10 days, spokeswoman Sandi Rutkowski said.

I turned on my television tonight to hear someone talking about Woody Hayes. Turns out that The Ohio State University has named a rare plant after Woody, which is blooming. Apparently, it stinks, but then Woody never was one to keep quiet in a week when TSUN and Notre Dame were in the news and he wouldn't have worried about casting a bad smell their way.
