The Rafflesia arnaldii plant is a parasite. It lives as a collection of thread-like filaments within its host vine, absorbing food and water from the vine. The only time any of it is visible is when it pushes out its cabbage size flower bud which opens into a three foot (one meter) wide flower weighing up to 24 pounds (11 kilograms).
