Are these worth keeping or is the smell terrible enough to warrant cutting them?

When this plant flowers, it is mature and reaching the end of its life cycle. Flowering also takes a lot of energy from the plant- this is why many plant people cut off flowers from their indoor plants... so the plant puts more energy back into the foliage. But for this purple passion plant, it may be close to declining. Mine did the same thing, unfortunately.
1 mi piaceI didn’t know they die after flowering, kinda dramatic for such a plant but okay pop off. It started stinking awful already without the blooms opening so I cut the top off. We shall see if that stops it from declining
