World's Largest Blossoming Plant — Attraction in Sierra Madre

I heard in 2024 that the viewing date was set too early, March 17. Well, in 2025, the date was set too late, April 12. We saw a lot of green leaves and just few blossoms. We went early, but those who waited until noon or so were waiting in a very long line for the shuttle, and when they got there at the house, they waited even longer, only to see those few wistaria blossoms.

Overall not too much too look without...
