What is the biggest flower?

Answer 1

Rafflesia arnoldii is a member of the genus Rafflesia. It is noted for producing the largest individual flower on earth, and a strong odor of decaying flesh - the latter point earning it the nickname of "corpse flower". It is an endemic plant that occurs only in the rainforest of Bengkulu, SumatraIsland, Indonesia and is locally known as patma raksasa. Although there are some plants with larger flowering organs like the Titan Arum andTalipot palm, those are technically clusters of many flowers.

When Rafflesia is ready to reproduce, a tiny bud forms on the outside of the root or stem and develops over a period of a year. The cabbage like head that develops, eventually opens to reveal the flower. The stigma or stamen are attached to a spiked disk inside the flower. A foul smell of rotting meat attracts flies and beetles to pollinate. To pollinate successfully, the flies and/or beetles must visit both the male and female plants. The fruit produced are round, filled with smooth flesh including many thousands of hard coated seeds that are eaten and spread by tree shrews .
