In full bloom. I could detect a faint smell - I think it started to dissipate when the doors were opened.

If I understood the Gardener correctly, the 'tree trunk' to the right of it is a Titan Arum leaf. It has a few 'branches' and leaves out of shot. It was produced by the previous flowering corm.

yes that is an Amorphophallus leaf. They only have one at a time and it looks like a small tree. Really weird plant.

It certainly is weird. The leaf looked like a fake plant you might buy to decorate your conservatory.
