The first opened today. I wanted to make a fast-motion animation and put
it in front of a camera. The pic on the right is one of those shot
yesterday. But unfortunately the plant lost balance overnight and fell
from the pedestal. Nothing severe happend to it (images at the left were
taken today, after the little accident), but surprisingly it does not
smell. Well, there are 2 left and I'm curious whether this lack of smell
is a consequence on its toppling over or it had to do with the way I
overwintered the tubers.

the same pic, but bigger (1330x1330px [download size]) and avaiable for
4 weeks:

Wow, great photography of a most interesting plant. Thanks. I saved
the one from the web page. The smell is like what I think, not
pleasant?

Haha, exactly. Nevertheless the plant is so interesting and beautiful
that I kindly accept its odours.
I agree but not in the house or bedroom. : o)

Well, I know. I'm not living alone, therefore my darlings have to leave
the house as soon as they open their blossoms. - I enjoyed all pics
you posted lately. I get one Hippeastrum flowering this year. It is a
'Rilona'. The stem is only about 5" tall by now.
They grow so fast. It will be open soon. I will post open pics of the
orchid cactus when they are ready. I wonder how many of the buds on
that plant will open. This will be my first full spring with it so I
am hoping for lots to make it to full monte.
