The world’s biggest flower, Rafflesia arnoldii, West Sumatra, Indonesia.
Indeed the largest flower but also the smelliest! And, to the human nose, not in a good way: its gigantic petals emit a putrid scent like rotting flesh to attract pollinators and prey.

Even “smellier” than Amorphophallus Titanum? I’ve see that one bloom at the botanical garden. I would say Amorphophallus Titanum is about equal in size, judging by the photo…and a lot taller.
