Here is a list of resources available for all you Perry the corpse flower fans out there.
http://gustavus.edu/biology/titanarum/ This is the main launching point for all your corpse flower needs including webcam images updated every minute and Brian O’Brien’s blog posts about Perry.
http://news.blog.gustavus.edu/2010/07/06/rare-corpse-flower-set-to-bloom-again-at-gustavus/ This page has lots of information for anyone planning on coming to Gustavus to visit with Perry.
http://gustavus.edu/video/perry/ This page will give you a live video feed of Perry as well as a way to chat with fellow Perry fans. The live video also works on iPhone/iPod/iPads so you can keep up to date on Perry’s progress even on the go.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Perry-the-Corpse-Flower/137427382953923 This is Perry the Corpse Flower’s official public facebook page full of info and many of my recent photos. There is also an unofficial page where Perry likes to talk to his friends.
http://gigapan.org/gigapans/54563/ This is a panoramic photo of the greenhouse where Perry lives. If you want a really close up view of his home, this is the place to see that.

http://www.youtube.com/user/gustavusvideo This youtube channel contains all the recent time lapse videos of Perry II and will be updated with more time lapse videos every few days.
http://titanarum.gac.edu/compare.html This site shows a side by side comparison of Perry in 2007 and Perry in 2010. You can clearly see that Perry is taking his time this year.
http://www.youtube.com/user/doachs#p/u Back in 2007 I uploaded a bunch of different time lapse videos to this youtube site. Most of them look pretty poor by today’s standards. Most of those same videos can also be found here.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/aeranthes/ This is Brian O’Brien’s flicker photostream which includes many photos of Perry.
http://twitter.com/perrytitan Perry has a twitter account but has not posted anything on it yet.
