Worlds Largest Flower corpse flower
Loading...
Uploaded by IrenaScott on Feb 17, 2010
Rafflesia arnoldii produces the largest individual flower on earth, and a strong odor of decaying flesh - the latter point earning it the nickname of "corpse flower". It occurs only in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo in the Indonesian Archipelago. Although there are some plants with larger flowering organs, those are technically clusters of many flowers.
The flower is rare and hard to locate. It takes many months to develop and the flower lasts for only a few days. The flowers are unisexual and male and female flowers need to be close by. Successful pollination is a rare event.
