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.
