Summary

Two giant corpse flowers at The Huntington are blooming right now—Odorysseus and Odora—spewing that infamous, rotting-egg stench to lure bugs for pollination. These rare, short-lived blooms (only lasting a day or two) are native to endangered Sumatran rainforests and can grow over twelve feet tall in days. The Huntington, home to over forty of these plants, is hand-pollinating them to boost seed production and share genetics with other gardens to save the species. Catch the spectacle live or via YouTube—because this smelly, fleeting show won’t last long. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
