The largest flower in the world was blossoming in Blanco, Veracruz, Mexico.
2 meters high and weighing 75 kilos, it has the peculiarity of blooming only during three days…every 40 years.
You'd only see it once or twice in a lifetime!
Shouldn't this qualify as the "8th Wonder of the World"?
Amorphophallus Titanum (Araceae), also called "Cadaverous flower" has the
peculiarity of blooming only during three days every 40 years, a privilege that ‘Mother Nature’ bestowed on this town in Veracruz .
We saw one once at the Hall of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. Notice that they call it "Cadaverous flower" that's because of the stench. It smells like rotting flesh!
