CORPSE FLOWER
CRIME WATCH
I left "Corpse Flower Crime Watch" promotional materials in and around the New York Botanical Garden to celebrate the very hyped, once-in-a-decade bloom of ​the corpse flower.
​
The flyers — along with a slogan of "When you can't trust smell, only eyes can tell" — spread quickly online, prompting the New York Botanical Garden to tweet "Botanical Banksy is real."
​
Eight years later, to my total surprise, this prank was mentioned in the New York Times "Facts of Interest" section.
