Rafflesia Arnoldii



 This Southeast Asian plant,Rafflesia Arnoldii, is noted for producing the largest individual flower on earth and has a strong intolerable odor. The flower of Rafflesia Arnoldii grows to a diameter of around 1m and weighs up to 11Kg. This flower parasites on the roots of other plants and itself does not have neither roots nor leaves nor peduncle.The petals are heavy and large and look like meat.




The name of this tropical flower is Amorphophallus Titanum.This flower was first discovered in 1878 from Dr Odoardo Beccari in the tropical forest of Sumatra Indonesia. It is the most spectacular flower in the world. In its natural habitat it can reach 3,5m high. A grown flower can reach up to 6m high with a diameter of 4,5m.




Another special flower is the Kissing Lips. 
This flower is mostly found in South and Central America. 
The thing that makes this flower special is that it looks like a woman's lips with heavy lipstick.!



  • This is an Orchid with a face! 
  • This flower originates from Ecuador and Peru! What makes it different from the other Orchids? Actually its figure. This Orchid has two names, Monkey Orchid and Dracula Simia because of its monkey-like face and Dracula because the two long sepal spurs resemble Dracula’s fangs.
