Wow. I've never seen an amorphophallus in someone's private home, only in public botanical gardens. It looks like it has loved the type of care you have given it. What a unique and interesting plant!

The smell doesn't bother me much but I can understand how it would bother most people. The weather has been unseasonably warm here so I can open my back door daytimes, that helps! The stink only lasts about 2-3 days. I have ANOTHER one about to bloom as well, a little smaller though.
