Thanks Bill. This one began opening yesterday morning and was lopsided
all day long. Finally about midnight it began to become more
symmetrical and this morning is nicely rounded. The pheromones did not
begin to fully release until well into the early morning and this
morning one of the caretakers was wearing a gas mask. It must be at or
near peak now.
They had people paying to see it all night long!

I have been watching this on and off much of the day and just noticed a "stink-o-meter" on the wall to the right side of the inflorescence. Be sure and take a look! She also said some were actually complaining it didn't smell bad enough yet.
