Amorphophallus titanum- largest flower of the planet!







Amorphophallus titanum , also called as cadaverous flower has the peculiarity of blooming only three days once every 40 years, a privilege that Mother Nature bestowed on the town of Rio Blanco, Veracruz , Mexico.

Something unusual happened in this town in the high mountains in the centre zone of the State of Veracruz with the apparition of the plant listed as the largest flower of the planet.

The plant is two meters high and weighs 75 kilos!

This is a forward from my friend. if anybody has more information, please share with MBP readers.

  • Wow, I have never seen anything like this! I always thought that the world's biggest flower was the Rafflesia (found in Singapore and that region), but this looks far, far bigger!
    Thanks for sharing this picture.

  • It looks tall indeed ! Must be a wonderful sight, provided we hold the nose !
    To put the facts in order : Rafflesia arnoldii ( found in Indonesia and Malaysia)is the world's largest single flower at about 40 inches in diameter and 10 to 14 kgs, in weight.
    Amorphophallus titanium is the largest unbranched inflorescence ( which makes it look like a single flower)
    Corypha( the Talipot Palm)put out the largest branched inflorescence.

  • ya..like what yosee say, amorphophallus titanum is a inflorescence. It is not a single flower but it is a flowers. what we look like flower is a part called spadix and spathe but not the flowers at all. so the largest single flower is still rafflesia.

    more, the emel u get is full of hoax. the picture is not from mexico and the flower not blooming once every 40 years.
