A corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) bloom opened last night, surprising us by opening a bit earlier than we guessed it would. While the smell would have been strongest last night, a small amount of its stinky smell remains. The Garden is open regular hours today, and we suspect the bloom to continue standing tomorrow. We now have multiple mature corpse flowers in our collection as part of our conservation work, and we suspect others might bloom later this summer. Learn more about this fasci

Hurry in because she only stays in bloom for a very short period, like a couple of days… and then it’s up to her when she’ll bloom again. | 93Q Houston | Facebook
