Rare Corpse flowers ‘Odora and Odorysseus’ bloom simultaneously for only 48 hours, and they are the stinkiest celebrities at Huntington

Two rare titan arums, known as corpse flowers, bloomed simultaneously at the Huntington Library. This unusual event drew over seven thousand curious visitors to witness the spectacle. The plants, nicknamed Odorysseus and Odora, opened over the weekend for a brief period. Each bloom lasts only twenty-four to forty-eight hours, peaking overnight before closing. The Huntington has cultivated these endangered plants for over twenty-five years.
