Another Chance at A Corpse Flower
If you were too far away -- or too late -- to get a whiff of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s corpse flower last week, you can still make haste for Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory where you can get a load of Husky, a mature corpse flower on loan from the University of Washington’s botany greenhouse. According to the Seattle Times:
If you’re in the Pacific Northwest and thinking you might like to get to the Conservatory before the stink is gone, you can call 206-684-4743 for updates on Husky’s current state.
Husky began life as an almond-size seed in Sumatra, and now is 5 feet tall and weighs more than 80 pounds. The UW last year loaned a corpse flower named Waldo, which still resides at the conservatory.
