Was Windowsill plant? - Amorphophallus titanum

An Amorphophallus titanum is about to bloom at the Atlanta Botanical
Garden. For some pictures,

Dear All;
Or go directly to:

I was there last week too and although I missed the flower,
the developing bud was great.

There is a sign next to the plant about how stinky it will be
when it opens. It was odd to see people read the sign and then say
they could smell it already, "just a little". I detected no scent,
but the power of the sign was evident.

I understand it is due to open this week - maybe.
