Rafflesia Arnoldii is the biggest founded flower in the world. It is one of the Rafflesia plants. A Rafflesia is a genus for all of these huge flowers around the ecosystem.
It was first founded in Indonesia by Sir Stamford Raffles one of the 1818 Indonesian rainforest expedition.
By now, you might stared to think if it is the largest flower in the world then How big exactly it is ?
according to the records, the largest size a Rafflesia Arnoldii can grow is 10 kilograms. I know it is hard to imagine a flower in that size. there's the picture for you to kind of have an idea how big it is.
Strangely, A beautiful flower like Rafflesia Arnoldii should have a specific smell that attracts insects and animals. But the truth is, it actually smells like rotten meat!! because of its smell, the Rafflesia Arnoldii has a nickname- "Corpse Flower"
That is also why it survives by attaching itself to a plant and leeching water and nutrients from it. which means it is a kind of parasite.
By now, you should clearly know that Rofflesia Arnoldii aren't those scary flowers that eats you and mammals from your imagination. not only parasite, also , Rafflesia Arnoldii is not poison. that is why it is considered as an endanger plant.
