I have this!! And I was told that it stinks when it blooms. Mine has one bloom opened and it doesn't stink. Does yours?

Not too bad, the flies love it though.

lol, I don't have to worry too much about the flies right now. Winter is coming on strong so bugs aren't as populated. One more question, is the cactus supposed to feel soft when you lightly squeeze it or should it be firm? My grandma was wanting to know.

Somewhat soft and somewhat firm, but not too soft. How firm is firm? or how soft is soft? LOL
(but technically it's not a cactus)
