The largest flower in the world was blossoming in Blanco , Veracruz , Mexico .
2 meters high and weighing 75 kilos, it has the peculiarity of blooming only
during three days every 40 years.
You'd only see it once or twice in a lifetime!
Shouldn't this qualify as the "8th Wonder of the World"? 
Amorphophallus titanum (Araceae), also called "cadaverous flower" has the peculiarity of blooming only during three days every 40 years, a privilege that Mother Nature bestowed on this town in Veracruz .

Supposedly this plant smells like a dead corpse once it finishes blooming, that's why it has the word cadaver in its name.

They have one of them in the collection of Hampshire college. It has the distinction of giving of the odor of rotting flesh.
