The corpse flower blooms rarely and briefly at the Huntington. Watch it unfurl live on YouTube.
“Previous blooms have always drawn huge crowds,” said Huntington spokesperson Lisa Blackburn. “This year, because of COVID-19 restrictions and the need for social distancing, the Conservatory building remains closed and visitors won’t be able to see — or smell — this particular stinker in person. A webcam will let visitors follow the flower’s bloom cycle in real-time, but until we can come up with scratch n’ sniff technology, a vivid imagination will have to conjure up the infamous stench.
Blackburn predicts the plant will bloom in approximately 10 days. With more than 40 corpse flowers in the Huntington’s greenhouse, let’s hope we’ll be lining up for a whiff of offensive blossoms in 2021.
