Dan and Lana Gogerty (‘73) were two of approximately 12,000 people who visited Reiman Gardens in mid-May to experience Stink Floyd, Iowa State University’s corpse flower. On the full day of the flower’s bloom, the gardens had around 5,000 visitors, shattering an all-time single day attendance record.
