The rafflesia plant has no stems, leaves or visible roots, since it is a parasite that lives entirely within a vine in the rain forest. Only the cabbage size bud or the huge flower is visible.

The flower can be over three feet (one meter) wide and weigh 24 pounds (11 kilograms). It looks and smells like rotting meat to attract insects for pollination.

It is the largest flower in the world.
