World’s Largest Single Flower


At a first glance the Rafflesia Arnoldii flower looks like an artificial work from a science fiction movie, but it is real living organism. Its flower attains a diameter of nearly a meter and can weigh up to 11 kilograms. It’s rated EN (Endangered) in the conservation status, so don’t pick it up, even if you can carry it!
