This curious flower takes 10 years to show all its splendor, which lasts only 1 or 2 days. The video above, recorded in time lapse shows the 13 days that the flower was on display at the New York Botanical Garden, including its overall appearance last week.
It's not just this one, they are blooming all at once, all over:
