It depends on your definition of a flower - the biggest flowering structure is the Titan Arum however they are really inflorences which means that they have many flowers inside the main flower (like dasys)http://www.botanic.cam.ac.uk/titan.htm the Largest is the Gient Rafflesia - this is the biggest single flower on earth and is one of the few total parisitetic plants - it lives in vine roots http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafflesia_a...
Which flower is the biggest?
Sorry, it was in the Nat. Geographic. It is pollinated by flies so the scent is of rotten meat. Several pounds and over a foot across.
Reply:Here's the biggest flower in the world.
Reply:its RAFFELASIA
Reply:It is Rafflesia arnoldii. The link explains why the Titan Arum isn't the biggest (it is an inflorescence - a flowering structure, not a single flower)
Reply:Rafflesia is generally reckoned to be . although strictly speaking it is the reproductive structure of a fungus, not a true flower
Reply:The world's largest flower is Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum).fitness
