World's Largest Flower

Have you ever laid eyes on a flower that rivals the weight of a medium-sized dog? Well, we hadn't either until now. If you're eager to get up close and personal with one, you can head to Sumatra, a part of Indonesia. The official name of this flower species is Rafflesia arnoldii.

The world's largest flower can weigh a whopping 15 pounds! A single petal can stretch over 1.5 feet and measure an inch in thickness. This flower reminds us of the plant from "Little Shop of Horrors."
