as with some stapeliads, the putative offensive smell is only discernible if you really stick your nose ot the flower. last year my Edithcolea grandis bloomed but unless your nose was inside the flower, you couldn't really smell that wonderful rotting meat fragrance.

It is interesting that you rate it as worst smell, and yet we struggled to
find a smell at all (could JUSt detect it when sticking nose virtually into
the flower.
Why would mine have not ponged at all? >>
