Introducing Smellvis, the 10-year-old titan arum
Smellvis bloomed on April 27 and thousands of adoring fans have come to visit it in person at the McMillan Greenhouse. Even though the bloom is mostly closed now, it’s still impressive and worth a visit!
We will keep the live bloomstream running for several more days as it begins to wither.
Admission Is Always Free!
The McMillan Greenhouse is OPEN 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday.
The outdoor gardens are open sunrise to sunset, 365 days a year!
Events and Photography require registration and a fee payment
