Ooooo errrrr, didn't know you could grow them to order   I have heard of these things smelling pretty rank, i think your right sam, they smell like this to attract the flies. Do they feed on the flies though, like the Venus Fly traps do. Get us being all Botanical |

Possibly not. Might just be that they use them as pollinators  I have looked them up before whilst searching for rafflesias, which are also often called corpse-flowers because of the smell. However, apparently the inside of these contain ridges/warts which act as insect traps, so this one is a killer of the 6-legged, 4-winged variety of creatures.
