Looks like someone has been traumatized for life after smelling it once. :)
Jokes apart, that is a very interesting description - I wish there was somewhere here in Bay Area I could smell it..
- scottjg 6y agoSan Francisco Conservatory of Flowers has at least one. They don't bloom extremely often. Most recent time to smell it was a two day period in August 2020. https://sfrichmondreview.com/2020/09/02/rare-corpse-flower-blooms-at-gg-park-conservatory/ https://sfrichmondreview.com/2020/09/02/rare-corpse-flower-b...
- pvaldes 6y agoJust for the record, San Francisco has the OTHER corpse flower, the dead man's corpse flower or Titan Arum. We talk about a flower that can measure more than 3m. Some people could wonder why Rafflesia is the biggest flower in the planet if there is a 3m flower around. The explanation is that what is shown in San Francisco is not a single flower. Is a bunch of flowers shaped as a single one. Thus, Titan Arum has the biggest group of flowers in the planet, and Rafflessia is the biggest single flower. This one is not a parasite and any brash gardener can culture it (and enjoy the experience of be hated by the entire neighborhood). We all have at least one of its cousins at home in fact. Is very easy to culture.
- emmelaich 6y agoAka Amorphophallus titanum aka corpse lily A few are in Sydney and Melbourne Australia, but you'd have to be lucky to see them in their three days of flowering after seven years.
