After several days of live-streamed anticipation, the U.S. Botanic Garden’s corpse flower bloomed Sunday evening—when the conservatory was closed to visitors.

Yes, it seems the titan arum’s peak smell came and went before area residents and tourists could get a whiff of the rotting flesh stench in all its glory. But, as many Botanic Garden visitors will tell you (more on that later), the plant was still quite a sight to behold.

For those who didn’t stay glued to the live stream to watch the titan arum bloom, you can now view the process in under a minute through a time-lapse video.
