Amorphophallus titanum(or titan arum). One of the most spectacular plants to be found in the wet tropics zone of the Princess of Wales Conservatory is the titan arum. With its huge flowering
structure (inflorescence) rising up to 3m above the ground and its single immense leaf, it certainly is a giant among plants, as its name suggests. Coupled with its characteristic foul
stench, and the rarity of flowerings, this plant has always hit the headlines.

Rafflesia arnoldii. Rafflesia arnoldii is a member of the genus Rafflesia, noted for producing the largest individual flower on earth. There are some plants with larger flowering organs, the Titan Arum and Talipot palm, but these are technically clusters of many flowers. It occurs only in the
rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo in the Indonesia Archipelago.
: this parasitic plant develops the world's largest bloom that can grow over three feet across. The flower is a fleshy color, with spots that make it look like a teenager's acne-ridden skin. It
smells bad and has a hole in the center that holds six or seven quarts of water. The plant has no leaves, stems, or roots.
