The "World's Largest" Flower Blooms
Giant flower native to Indonesia
July 23, 2010, Tokyo, Japan - With its repulsive odor, the world's largest flower, a Titan Arum, or Amorphophallus titanum otherwise known as a Corpse Flower, attracts hundreds of curious visitors to Koishikawa Botanical Garden in Tokyo on Friday, July 23, 2010. A rare flowering plant that is only found naturally in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia, the Corpse Flower's name comes from the repulsive scent it emits during the hours after it blooms.
