San Antonio Zoo
Corpse Flower - Death Blossom???
Over the weekend, we reported smells coming from the plant, possibly indicating an impending or partial bloom occurrence. Unfortunately, this afternoon we observed a sagging of the spadix. This is a sign that the flower bloom was not fully successful – however, the plant remains alive and can bloom again in the coming decade. La Llorona will remain on display for the next few days, and the live stream will remain active. The process of decomposition of the flower is part of the natural life cycle of the plant, and we will take this opportunity to educate our guests to understand and appreciate the entire process. San Antonio Zoo remains committed to helping save this plant species from extinction and growing this conservation program in the coming years with the addition of more plants.
