Great flower!!! I am thinking of getting one of these!

So if I have one in my house and blooms, is that so stinky that I should get it out?? I can imagine the sworm of flies gothering around! I should put it beside my carnovorous!!!;)
 
Once it starts blooming, the same inflorescence can bloom for a very long time as the flowering is sequential. Just in case someone who has one thinks they should cut of the spike after the first flower falls off.
