IIRC, these bloom only once every several years (7 or so?) - even less in “captivity”. Quite an event just from how long it is between blooms that last only a couple days. A quick look at Wikipedia notes that the flower also heats up to about mammal body temperature; between stink & heat it’s designed to attract flesh-feasting bugs.
