4. World’s Largest Flower Found in Jungle
Location: Indonesia’s West Sumatra
Year Found: 2020 Estimated Value: Not Known
Exploring a distant jungle in Indonesia’s West Sumatra province, environmentalists found the world’s largest flower bloom. The flower is called Rafflesia tuan-mudae, and it is well-known for its enormous, elusive blossoms, which bloom for a mere week near the end of the plant’s life.

With a 3.6-foot diameter, this enormous blossom was the biggest recorded Rafflesia ever. The flesh-colored petals of the flower, speckled with white, make it simple to identify. Given that the flower belongs to the “corpse flower” category of flora, which implies that it smells like a dead body, this unfavorable description is accurate.
