A. titanum blooms

[Tropics]

Amorphophallus titanum that I won in a TerraForums auction about 8 years ago and donated to Foster Gardens in Honolulu bloomed a few days ago:

While I was there, I took photos of some other plants:

What a beauty! I had an A. titanum doing great until it went dormant, then I killed it somehow, during dormancy the bulb rotted.

Unfortunately, it's already collapsing.

How was the stench? Very pretty flower, but it may not be worth it with the smell!

Will it bloom again?
