San Diego Botanic Garden (SDBG) announced yesterday that a konjac plant –a smaller, but still impressive relative of the corpse plant– is blooming in its Dickinson Family Education Conservatory. The Amorphophallus konjac, also commonly called voodoo lily, devil’s tongue, or elephant yam, belongs to the same genus as the famous titan arum, or corpse plant. This is the first konjac to bloom in SDBG’s Conservatory. It has been at least six years since a konjac has bloomed at the Garden. When grown in tropical conditions, mature plants generally flower each year in late winter to early spring. The Voodoo Lily's bloom will only last a few days, so visitors should plan to visit on Wednesday or Thursday to experience the smell firsthand! San Diego Botanic Garden is open Wednesday to Monday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Get tickets here! Adult: $18 Senior (Ages 60): $12 Military: $12 Student: $12 Youth (Ages 3-17): $10 For more information, please visit sdbgarden.org or call the garden at (760) 436-3036.
