Smell- could be that honeydew sort of residual junk the plants emit from their nectaries. Those little bumps on the petioles. I understand that this can be to attract ants to guard the plant from pests. It's plant BO. Stress causes odour meant to deter attackers. Like sagebrush, culinary herbs, and all. Just a guess.
Kind of like badly-cooked food smell?

As pretty as it was, I wasn't impressed with Chihuly. With an education in art, I saw simple things that just plainly were failed- unmaximized potential... It would take some time to explain... The ideas and all were nice, clever and neat, though.
