In St. Paul at the Como Zoo Conservatory. It's huge, 52". There's a live webcam you can watch here:

A rare treat; something not many people get to see.

I've always wanted to see one of these flowers and now I am! It's kind of fun watching the people, as well. It would be awesome if I saw someone I used to know. But since I've been away 20 years, I doubt I'd recognize them even if I did.
