• The white baneberry is black and has a white dot, so it looks like a doll’s eyes.

       The Rafflesia arnoldii also has no leaves or stem. But it has the largest flower of all plants! It can grow to be 1 meter (3 feet) across and can weigh 11 kilos (24 pounds). The flower looks scary. Things that look like big thorns grow out of their center. And worse, it stinks like rotting meat—just like the stink lily! But this plant doesn’t eat insects. The odor attracts insects that carry its pollen to other plants. This big flower blooms for only five days. Because there are fewer and fewer of these plants, they may become extinct.

Clik for if the teks are true!

• The Rafflesia arnoldii can reach 24 pounds and three feet across.

• The flower looks scary with no leaves and stem, even smell like rotting meat.

• The flower will bloom until fifteen days.

• This plant gets its food by attracting insects by its stink.
