The largest known flower on the earth is called Rafflesia arnoldii; its blossom has a diameter of three feet (!!) and weighes up to 30 pounds (!!!). Smelling like rotting flesh, Rafflesia arnoldii has no leaves, stems or roots.  The Rafflesia bloom is rare and hard to see; the buds take many months to develop and the blossom lasts for only a few days.

Sorry, we can’t get one of those in our store. ;-)  It’s an endangered species.
