The first one the Amorphophallus titanum (Picture above, if the picture you can not see the amazing shapes video Amorphophallus titanum down all) known as Giant or Bunga Bangkai Aro is the world's largest flower reaching about 3 meters high and about 80 kilos of weight. Also called "Corpse Flower", gives off a foul smell to the extent that it is difficult to approach her. This exchange which attracts insects to pollen. The Giant Aro was discovered on the island of Sumatra (Indonesia) by Italian-born botanist Odoardo Fellows.

The Rafflesia arnoldii (see image below also view it in the video), the world's second largest flower was discovered by Thomas Stamford Raffles and Joseph Arnold on the same island as before. Its flower reaches a meter in diameter weighs about 11 kilos. Their flowers come out every few years, and this plant is parasitic.
