What about Rafflesia which is supposed to be the largest flower -- perhaps in width? Should check with the encyclopedia.
The largest flower in the world was blossoming in Rio Blanco , Veracruz , Mexico . Two 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!
Amorphophallus titanum (Araceae), also called "cadaverous flower" has the pecularity of blooming only during three days every 40 years, a privilege that Mother Nature bestowed on this town in Veracruz .
