Ah shoot, looks like they are done!
Here is some background info. The Huntington botanists pioneered a self pollination method in 1999. At the time, it was only the 11th one to bloom in the US. Now the Huntington has had several bloom games in just the last few years.

Corpse Flower | The Huntington
The Corpse Flower (Amorphophallus titanum) is the largest unbranched inflorescence in the plant kingdom. It can grow more than 8 feet tall, blooms for only 1 to 3 days every year or so, and boasts a powerful stench when it blooms, earning the flower its putrid name.

If you were watching about 7 hours ago, you would have seen me step inside to get this shot!

Not at all. I was expecting it to be unpleasant, but the only unpleasant thing was stepping from 95 degrees outside to 95 degrees inside with 95% humidity!

Ha! The only spot with humidity in SoCal! As far as the stench, it was closed. I think it closed yesterday.
Thanks for the update. I was trying to decide whether to volunteer Sat or Sun.

The Chicago Botanic Garden has had several flower in the past couple of years. Theirs do smell bad.
