Among its unique elements: the corpse flower’s small red fruit is poisonous to humans but is a tasty snack for the rhinoceros hornbill bird. Its red bloom, designed to mimic a bloody carcass, attracts pollinators with equally vivid names such as carrion beetles, flesh flies and sweat flies. Each plant is different, Tam said. Odora is a bit of an overachiever. Tam estimates it will grow about 30 more inches before it blooms, or about 6 inches a day.Two Corpse Flowers on display at the Huntington in San Marino, CA on Monday, July 15, 2024.
