The World's Largest Flower

Indonesia is covered in trees and jungle, and much of what lies within the forests of Indonesia has remained a secret for centuries. But in 2020, something extraordinary was uncovered. Scientists couldn't believe their eyes when they stumbled upon this bizarre flower, as the Rafflesia arnoldii is considered to be one of the rarest flowers in the whole world. Not to mention that it's also the biggest flower in the whole world.

This discovery made the record books, measuring 3 feet long and weighing a whopping 15 pounds. However, as this flower is known for smelling like rotting meat, scientists wanted to get away from it pretty quickly!
