  1. The Rafflesia arnoldii.

    The flower with the world's largest bloom is the Rafflesia arnoldii. This rare flower is found in the rainforests of Indonesia. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds! It is a parasitic plant, with no visible leaves, roots, or stem. It attaches itself to a host plant to obtain water and nutrients. When in bloom, the Rafflesia emits a repulsive odor, similar to that of rotting meat. This odor attracts insects that pollinate the plant.

    A photograph of said flower may be found on the link below.


  2. i have seen road signs with the words

    HEAVY PLANT CROSSING

    often seen near major construction works

    that must be quite some plant so its possible that these are the biggest plants in the world

  3. Isn't it that rotting meat flower?

    There's a flower in the rainforest that only opens every so often, and it smells like rotting meat to attract carrion eaters, which it then devours. It's supposed to be huge, and you're supposed to be able to smell it from miles away.

    The Rafflesia arnoldii is the world's largest flower

    The flower with the world's largest bloom is the Rafflesia arnoldii. This rare flower is found in the rainforests of Indonesia. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds!

    Another enormous flower found in Indonesia is the Amorphophallus titanum, or Titan arum. It is also known as the "corpse flower" for its unpleasant odor. Like the Rafflesia, the Titan emits the smell of rotting flesh to attract pollinators. Technically, the Titan arum is not a single flower. It is a cluster of many tiny flowers, called an inflorescence. The Titan arum has the largest unbranched inflorescence of all flowering plants. The plant can reach heights of 7 to 12 feet and weigh as much as 170 pounds!
