In the Huntington green house is one of the world's largest flowers called the Corpse Flower. To date there have been only 50 of the flowers in the United States and only three at Huntington Library. The flower can grow up to eleven feet, the one shown here is 5 feet 7 and 3/4 inches. We were told that it is unknown how big this flower will get nor when it will bloom. The flower gets its name from the stench produced when the flower opens.
