It started early on Saturday - visitors lining up for their chance to see this rare botanical marvel.
A brief wait at the Tropical House was necessary so everyone would have a chance to see and hear Trudy's story.
The spadix continues to shrivel.
Director Paul Licht, in attendance for much of the weekend, remains excited as he shares Trudy's history.
UCBG Docent Claude Babcock assists educating visitors about the Titan Arum.
A small window had been cut to allow removal of the pollen; visitors had a chance to feel the unusual texture of the flower wall - a vegetably styrofoam (reminded your webster of a ginger flower in a Vietnamese soup!).
