Broad and High
Voodoo Lilies
Clip: Season 1 Episode 26 | 3m
The Biological Sciences Greenhouse at OSU welcomes the smelly Voodoo Lily.
The Biological Sciences Greenhouse at OSU has been fortunate to have multiple bloomings of the Titan Arum, aka, the corpse flower. Now, they have its smaller but also smelly cousin, the Voodoo Lily. From its bruise-colored bloom that resembles a corpse, to its stench of rotting flesh, this tropical flower (actually a tuber) masks its beauty to attract its pollinators – typically flies and beetles
