No, they don't smell good but I know the smell drifts, was wondering if you caught a whiff of it. Probably better you didn't!

No I did not but i'm guessing because of it's name that is does not have a pleasent smell.

I'm surprised you saw this in Hawaii, it's native to south eastern Africa. Did you get a smell of the flower?
