Heh.

Yep, saw it Sunday. It doesn't really smell as bad as one is led to believe. I mean, it doesn't smell like honeysuckle, but it's not gag-inducing either.

But seeing a person-sized flower is really just incredibly cool.

It bloomed 2 or 3 years ago, too. When I saw it then, they had grad students on duty round the clock, waiting for something like the 15-second window during which the thing could be pollinated. There were lots of necrophiliac plant jokes that day.
