Corpse flower to bloom in Houston
By webmaster | July 9, 2010
The corpse flower is so rare that only 28 have ever been known to bloom in the United States. The 29th is poised to open any day now at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
The lime-green bud, which resembles an oversized endive, was nearing 5 feet tall on Wednesday in the museum’s Cockrell Butterfly Center and has been growing about 4 inches a day. Cockrell director Nancy Greig says it could open Friday or by early next week. Once open, the corpse flower will last about two days.
The corpse flower is expected to bloom this weekend July 10-11, 2010 at the Houston Museum of Natural Science Butterfly Center
