The Rafflesia is an intriguing and exotic flower known for its enormous size and foul odor. It's famous for being the largest individual flower on Earth, with some species reaching up to 3 feet in diameter. Found in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, the Rafflesia is a parasitic plant that lacks leaves, stems, and roots, relying entirely on its host plant for nutrients. Despite its beauty, its scent is often likened to rotting flesh, which attracts flies for pollination. This fascinating flower has captivated botanists and nature enthusiasts for centuries, adding to the allure of tropical rainforests.
