We know the world's largest flower is a parasite, we also know what the host plant is and how the pollination works, but we still have no idea how the seeds of #Rafflesia arnoldii are dispersed, nor can we cultivate this species.

#OTD In The #Chattanooga #News:
"Q. What is the largest #Flower in the world?
A. Arnold's #Rafflesia - Discovered in #Sumatra (1818). The entire flower measures about a yard across & weighs about 15 lbs."
The Rafflesia arnoldii honors two men: Sir Stamford #Raffles (#Expedition #Leader) & his friend, James Arnold (#Naturalist & #Botanist) who died shortly after #Discovering the #Putrid #Bloom, which looks & smells like rotting flesh - thus the name #Corpse or #Meat flower.
