How long does the corpse flower live for?

Answer 1

The Corpse Flower can take anywhere from two to twenty year before it decides to bloom again. Once the flower blooms, it only lasts for a few days before it falls apart and then prepares to bloom again.

Answer 2

The spathe (male parts) usually lasts for 12 hours but may last up to 48 hours. The female part of the blossom opens a day or two earlier. It usually takes up to seven years for the first flower and it may not bloom again for another seven years.
