UPDATE: After a weekend of excitement, the high temperatures in New York did not impact the Corpse Flower's growth as our experts anticipated. The plant is still progressing, but its bloom remains difficult to predict (as nature sometimes loves being). We'll post updates as we're able. Thanks to everyone who's been following along—we're just as anxious as you are to see the final result!
The bloom of our Amorphophallus titanum, known to many as the corpse flower, is a horticultural jewel 10 years in the making. Follow along in real time as this enormous plant unfurls in our Enid A. Haupt Conservatory!
