The San Diego Botanic Garden (SDBG), a 37-acre urban oasis in north San Diego County, today announces the bloom of its second rare Amorphophallus titanum, colloquially known as the corpse flower due to the rotting meat odor it emits. The blooming of a corpse flower is a rare and special event, as most plants require seven to ten years to produce their first blooms with subsequent blooms every four to five years thereafter. The fully opened bloom lasts just 48 hours before it begins to fade. To honor the flower’s signature fragrance, SDBG nicknamed the second bloom “Stinking Beauty” and it can be viewed with special extended hours: November 18 between 9 a.m. to midnight November 19 between 7am to 10 p.m. Saturday, November 20 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. To purchase tickets or for additional information, please visit: https://sdbgarden.org/corpse-plant.htm. For those who cannot make the in-person event, a livestream of the bloom’s development is available on the same page. San Diego Botanic Garden on Facebook + Instagram
