Rafflesia Flower! | Jeffrey Cinto

Meet the Rafflesia, or 'Corpse Flower', the world's largest flower! 🌺 Found only in Sumatra and Borneo's rainforests, it blooms every 2-5 years for just 5-7 days. Its rotten-meat smell tricks flies into pollinating it! This rare, parasitic plant has no roots or leaves—just a giant, stinky bloom that can stretch over 1 meter (3 feet) wide. 🎥: @trev__travels 📬 DM for credit/removal 👉 Follow @lostmyguide for nature’s most bizarre creations #CorpseFlower #Rafflesia #JungleAdventures #LostMyGuide

The flower, whose scientific name is the rafflesia arnoldii, is the largest in the world and one of the rarest, as it only fully blooms for a 4-day window. It is colloquially known as a corpse flower, for the overpoweringly stinky odor it emits while mid-bloom. | NowThis | Facebook
