Rare Corpse Flower Shows Up at Abandoned Gas Station In Alameda, and Residents Line Up for Photos
Alameda residents were understandably delighted on Monday when a rare example of an
or corpse flower showed up outside of any museum setting, just in a simple pot at an abandoned gas station for all to see.
The plant was cultivated by a local nursery owner, Solomon Leyva, as the Chronicle reports, and he decided when it made a once-in-a-decade decision to bloom that he should share it with the public. That meant loading it into a wagon and rolling it over to an abandoned property nearby at Oak Street and Santa Clara Avenue, across from a CVS pharmacy in Alameda.
