It’s time for my yearly eye exam! As long as there aren’t any problems, I don’t mind them. 😅

The Huntington Library has its first corpse flower of the year. Because the Huntington is turning 100 this year, the flower was named Scentennial. I really wanted to see it, but I had ballet that day and I didn’t learn about the bloom until it was too late. This drawing is a copy of a photo from the Huntington’s Instagram.

IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN!!!!!

We’re officially on bloom watch for our 6th Corpse Flower, aka “Li’l Stinker.” Botanical curators moved the stinky plant to the Conservatory today, and created a display featuring two other Amorphophallus titanum plants in different life stages: the corm (brown lumpy seedling thing) and leaf (freckly palm tree thing). 

Currently only 35.5 inches tall, Li’l Stinker is on track to be smaller than most Corpse Flowers (some can grow over 6 ft. tall). However, it IS taller than Li’l Sebastian, by a whole 3.5 inches. So that’s something.

Follow on our Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook channels for the latest on when this unpredictable plant might bloom. While you wait, relive our 2014 Corpse Flower bloom.

Botanical curators transport The Huntington’s 6th Corpse Flower to the Conservatory, where it will remain on view to visitors until the event of it’s flowering. For more information about the Amorphophallus titanum, head to huntington.org/corpseflower.

So Stink started blooming yesterday and I got to see her at lunchtime. What a beauty! Can’t wait to see who blooms next. #TitanTriplets #StinkyAtTheH #CorpseFlower (at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens)
