The world's largest flower is also one of the worst smelling flowers. Rafflesia Arnoldii is often over 3 feet wide and its petals are almost an inch thick. You wouldn't want it in your garden, however, because it smells like a rotting animal. The flower is attempting to attract flies for pollination. - from www.odd-info.com

It grows here in central Indiana (Zone 5b) and it *reeks* when in bloom. Cool flower, though.
