Rotting flesh anyone?

My starfish plant is blooming just in time for Creepmas.  For those of you who have never seen one it is a creepy succulant that sports a brown leathery looking flower that smells like rotting flesh. Needless the say, the bees avoid it but the flies love it.  Here are some pictures.
