Original caption
Smell that? Corpse Flower summer has arrived, and it's gonna be TWICE as stinky. 🌸🦨 Two Amorphophallus titanum plants have begun gearing up for a bloom at The Huntington: Odora (who last bloomed in 2024), and another plant, which will bloom for the first time in public! While Corpse Flowers are famously unpredictable, blooms typically begin about two weeks after emerging. Follow along for growth updates, submit a name for our newest Corpse Flower in our Instagram Stories, and check the link in our bio to watch both plants via our livestream.
