The flowers look gorgeous.  Are you living in Africa/ southern Asia or did you plant them yourself where you live (I assume Europe)?

And unfortunately this one never bloomed for me, but oh do I wish it had 

 

Also have carrion flowers, but while they have a similar smell of putrefaction, they're completely different plants/flowers

Spoiler

I just have a love for "bizarre" and freaky plants
