Mystery solved!

We had a big problem in this old house for the past week or so. We started to smell sewer gas coming from the kitchen sink. We did a little research, made some calls, and spent some time cleaning out & bleaching the pipes. We left the window open all week so we wouldn't pass out from the smell.
After all this work, we could still pick up the smell. It was very frustrating!
Tonight I was standing at the sink and noticed the flower pot we have had there for a few weeks. I thought maybe the soil had gotten moldy or something. I picked it up, smelled the soil and then realized this awful smell we have been trying to eradicate for a week was coming from the beautiful bloom.
