Indonesia: Rafflesia arnoldii produces the largest individual flower of any species in the world. Kota Bogor, Java.

Rafflesia arnoldii produces the largest individual flower of any species in the world. But you might not want to get too close to it because it has 'a penetrating smell more repulsive than any buffalo carcass in an advanced stage of decomposition'.
