Description
San Diego Botanical Garden's second corpse flower of the year is in its final day of bloom. This makes the first time two have bloomed in a single year.
And just like "The Addam's Family" matriarch that the flower is named after, Morticia is drenched in (the scent) of death.
Ari Novy, CEO of San Diego Botaical Garden explained why the corpse flower reeks in its final days of life.
"This plant is literally trying to behave like a corpse, it's trying to convince insects that it is a corpse and its doing that because the insects that pollinate it like rotting flesh," said Novy.
Morticia's sibling bloomed just three weeks prior.
