Lovely photo! I wanted to see this when it was blooming somewhere locally a few years ago. I can't rremember where it was but that's fantastic that you got the opportunity.
The wires take the temperature of the central segment of the plant. As the plant comes into full bloom, it gets progressivly more hot. At the time of the photo, the room was 90' and the central segment was approximately 105'

The bloom is about 2 1/2 feet across at this point.
Last shot.

I'm also glad you can't smell through photos.

what an opportunity to see it. What are those wires inside the bloom for?
