I could buy. It sort of became an obsession, but, I guess, a harmless one.” By Abe Opincar, May 9, 1996 Read full article The late Henry Huntington once bought a whole garden simply to preserve a superb specimen of wisteria, a vine believed to be the oldest Wisteria floribunda in America. The Moment Leaves Started to Turn The late Henry Huntington once bought a whole garden simply to preserve a superb specimen of wisteria, a vine believed to be the oldest Wisteria floribunda in America. Perhaps he saw it in winter, when wisteria is bare like a man's arms. That's when its true capacity is revealed to you, its power to entwine, suffocate, merge, and topple. Wisteria can break concrete or strangle a tree. By Laura McNeal, Jan. 30, 1997 Read full article Adblock test a href="https://blockads.fivefilters...

Biggest L.A. corpse flower at the Huntington: What to know - Los Angeles Times

Last year, pandemic restrictions prevented Los Angeles plant lovers from experiencing a beloved summertime ritual: standing in line at the Huntington in the hopes of catching a glimpse — and whiff — of the corpse flower, a.k.a. “Stinky,” the world’s largest flower famed for its surreal beauty and horrific stench.Last year’s corpse flower was livestreamed on YouTube, but this year will be different as the Huntington, like most museums and botanical gardens in Los Angeles, has reopened to full capacity. This year’s tropical plant, affectionately called “Stankosaurus Rex,” is not only unique for its accessibility; it is the biggest specimen in Huntington history. “We are all very excited,” said Brandon Tam, the Huntington’s Orchid Collections specialist who also oversees dozens of rare corpse flowers in a greenhouse, where many of the stinky plants are positioned to provide protective shade for delicate orchids.

Our 12th Amorphophallus titanum (#CorpseFlower) peaked in its bloom early this morning … Before it closes up, our botanical staff will be hand-pollinating the plant. Stay tuned!” the Huntington tweeted Tuesday morning. The flower started blooming on Monday night, allowing some visitors the chance to view it until 9 p.m., but tickets quickly sold out.

This year’s specimen reached 90 inches, breaking th...
