We had one in bloom last year at the butterfly museum in Houston - it takes a long time to die back, and its name is clearly from the aroma - it is remarkably similar to 3weeks plus dead - I would hope none of you ever know this scent in any format other than this - for those who have known combat, it is unmistakable.
