The plant itself does little for me but well worth having around for when it flowers and yeah, the smell doesn't travel which is nice.
Have you seen how large the seed pods get? They are at least twice the size of the flower. Amazing!

They're the ones, nice pendulous growth on that plant. The pods open up and release heaps of fluffy seed that gets carried away in the wind.

rotten flesh? i gotta say i've never smelled this but a plant will do almost anything to spread its genes.
now that rocks.
will you be donating seeds to the seed bank, k-man? that would be a nice addition to my garden.

you get an ATTABOY.
ATTABOYs were given to oil rig workers when the demonstrated good judgment or any good deed they did that made them stand out.
