Titan arum (corpse flower) blooms in Berkeley →
“Liver-colored, reeking of rancid animal flesh and obscenely phallic, Titan arum - affectionately called the corpse flower - is hardly the stuff of bouquets and love poems. It’s more like the Godzilla of the plant kingdom: big, stinky and likely to traumatize small children.”
I’m probably not going to get a chance to see this, but I love just knowing that it and I are in the same city. Bless you, Berkeley.
