Pair of corpse flowers draw thousands to California botanical garden
Two titan arums named Odorysseus and Odora bloomed simultaneously at the Huntington in San Marino, attracting over 7,000 visitors.
- The flowers bloomed over the weekend and reached their peak overnight before beginning to close the following day.
- The Huntington notified the public on Sunday afternoon once the plants began unfurling their blooms.
- Brandon Tam, curator of the orchid collection, said people lined up for three hours to see the flowers for a few minutes.
- Advance tickets for viewing sold out by late Monday morning; the corpse flowers will remain on display until early August.
