Man Finds Rafflesia, The Largest Flower in The World, While Walking Through Forest in Indonesia | Watch

Viral Video: Taking a walk through a forest is a fantastic outdoor activity that’s good for your body and brain. Recently, a man who was trekking through a forest in Indonesia, stumbled upon a rare corpse flower in the wild. Turns out, the flower is Rafflesia arnoldii, the largest in the world, and is known for its overpoweringly stinky odor it emits while mid-bloom. Found in the rainforests of Indonesia, it can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds. A video shared by Now This on Twitter shows the giant flower lying on the ground in the wilderness. The red flower, in full bloom, has five petals with white spots.

But they get nothing from the deal. They just help spread the flower’s pollen.”
