The Rafflesia arnoldii. It can grow up to 3 feet wide and weigh up to 15 pounds! The best part is it smells absolutely horrible! The smell is described as rotting meat which attracts insects to pollinate the flower. It is also a parasitic plant with no roots or leaves that instead, completely lives off of other plants.
