Scientists have just discovered a new species of Rafflesia (the world's largest flower at 42 inch diameter) in the Philippines. The plant is a parasite: it has no roots, stems, or leaves and when in bloom, it emits a nasty smell similar to that of a dead rat. http://news.inq7.net/nation/index.php?index=1&story_id=56167 | Link 2 | (via Human Flower Project) |

That thing is a flower? It's huge! I'm not sure I'd want one if it smells like a dead rat when it blooms!
