Well, actually, no I didn't. That's what I would've smelled if I'd gotten a whiff of the
Amorphophallus titanum (that's right, that's its name) a day earlier. It is also known as a carrion flower/corpse flower, since it smells like rotting flesh. Apparently it reeks so bad that sometimes people vomit at its stench, and its aroma can waft a radius of 3 blocks.
But it only smells that bad for about a day. Some residual stinkiness can be smelled a day later. Alas, we were even after that baby stench. But we did get to see how giant it was!

That's all for UW's amorphous giant penis flower. At least for about the next eight years, when it'll possibly bloom again.
