World’s Largest Plants Up Close and Personal

Here’s the Titan arum (amorphophallus titanum) in all its glory. This beauty is a native of the equatorial rainforests of central Sumatra, Indonesia. Its blooming stalk can reach a height of three metres (ten feet) and one metre (three to four feet) in diameter. Like the Rafflesia, even Titan arum emits a strong, repulsive odour to attract pollinators like carrion and flesh flies, which is why both plants are also nicknamed “corpse plants.” LINK
