14 Temmuz 2026The Guardian

Two corpse flowers, known for their size and strong odor, have bloomed at the Huntington library and gardens in Southern California, drawing thousands of visitors. The rare event saw over 7,000 people queuing to witness the simultaneous blooming of these titan arums, named Odorysseus and Odora.
This spectacle took place just 12 miles from downtown Los Angeles, captivating nature enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike.
Corpse flowers, or titan arums, are native to the rainforests of Sumatra and are known for their infrequent blooming and strong odor, which resembles rotting flesh. This phenomenon attracts pollinators like carrion beetles.
The blooming of the corpse flowers at the Huntington library serves as a reminder of nature's peculiar wonders and the fascination they evoke in the public. Such events not only highlight the uniqueness of these plants but also underscore the role of botanical gardens in promoting environmental awareness and education.
