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
