You might have seen this flower in some website.
This is Rafflesia arnoldii. This is a rare flower found in the rain forests of Indonesia. It grows to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds!

The krubi, or corpse flower. Fascinating to see, but produces an odor like rotting flesh.

Rafflesia. Looks and smells like old dead meat to attract flies.
