Crowds gathered in San Francisco to witness a rare and fascinating event - the blooming of an endangered tropical flower known as the Amorphophallus titanum, or corpse flower. This unique plant, which emits a strong odor when it blooms, began its spectacle at the California Academy of Sciences.
The corpse flower, named Mirage, started blooming on Tuesday afternoon and is expected to remain in bloom for one to three days. This extraordinary event only occurs once every seven to 10 years, making it a truly special occasion for visitors and researchers alike.
