SAN MARINO (CNS) - The famous corpse flower was in full bloom today at The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens, although its timing was not the best, coming on a day when the gardens were closed to the public.
“Behold Stankosaurus Rex, a majestic and smelly beast. Our 12th Amorphophallus titanum (#CorpseFlower) peaked in its bloom early this morning . Before it closes up, our botanical staff will be hand-pollinating the plant. Stay tuned! the Huntington tweeted Tuesday morning.
The flower started blooming on Monday night, allowing some visitors the chance to view it until 9 p.m., but tickets quickly sold out.

Beneath every robber baron’s graceful mansion seems to lie a graveyard of questionable deeds.
Cue Henry E. Huntington. Business mogul. Rail magnate. Rapacious real estate developer. Cantankerous enemy of organized labor.
Cue, also, Henry E. Huntington. Devoted aesthete. Prolific collector of art and books and plants, who left the lot to the public in the form of the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens on land that was once his vast San Marino estate.
Now, 102 years after he and his wife Arabella Duval Huntington founded it, this patrician institution finds itself at a crossroads the benefactor of Gilded Age wealth attempting to evolve into the post-George Floyd era, when art museums around the country are reckoning with questions of equity and race.
