Wandered into a greenhouse in Seattle yesterday and found a corpse flower about to bloom

I smelled it from the parking lot and followed the stink right to this massive 6 foot tall plant, has anyone else ever caught one of these right before it opens?

Smelling it from the parking lot, that's wild man.

And that's the thing with @grantl94, once you've dealt with a really bad smell a few times you learn to trust your nose from way off. I've had to turn around in a parking lot before because the dumpster situation behind the store was just that nasty. If you can smell it that strong from the lot, the air inside is gonna be bad enough to ruin your whole meal.
