Rafflesia arnoldii produces the world's largest flower. Found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, it has no stems, leaves, or roots. It's parasitic, relying on a host plant for nutrition. Its conservation is challenging due to habitat destruction.

Stinking Corpse Lily (Rafflesia arnoldii)
Yes, thereβs more than one flower that smells like a rotting corpse! Also known as the corpse flower or giant padma. This plant puts out a strong stench in order to attract the carrion flies that act as pollinators. It parasitizes a member of the grape family and does not have leaves, roots, or stems. Itβs also the largest single flower on Earth! |
