It's sweaty, stinky time again at the Huntington Library, Art Gallery, and Botanic Gardens, where the season's first rare corpse flower bloom is expected by July 23.
It's sweaty stinky time again at the Huntington Library, Art Gallery, and Botanic Gardens. One of its rare corpse flowers is about to bloom, in all its putrescence. In the next 10 to 12 days, expect visitors to be lined up to enter the Huntington's sauna-like viewing area in San Marino to give this giant, fantastically weird tropical plant a sniff. Corpse flowers are native to the rain forests of Sumatra in Indonesia, so they like it hot and steamy.
The pollinators are usually insects looking for the decaying carcasses of animals to lay eggs on, Tam said, 'which is why they're looking for stinky things. The flower is trying to mimic that odor of a dead carcass, and its entire base is a dark maroon red to mimic bloody carcasses of dead animals. Plants are just so fascinating, especially this one.
