A bright red flower that smells like rotten meat has blossomed in Indonesia, which is 17cm long, making it one of the largest flowers in the world.

Your Rafflesia-Mudae has huge petals and thrives in Indonesia's rain forest before dying in just a week.

Local reports claim the flower is the first of a group of five flowers expected to flourish.

Rafflesia is the name of a large group of plants, which smell rotten meat to attract flies and beetles, Kosovo Press broadcasts.

Plants live like parasites in vines, but they thrive only for a few days at the same time.

Other gender plants may grow larger, and a Rafflesia Arnold inspired the character Pokemon Villeplume.

Ade Puntra, from the board of conservation in Indonesia, said that for this species, the diameter is quite large.

“In 2017 we encountered the same flower at a diameter of 107 cm”, he said.

According to Ade, based on scientific data and documentation, the size of the diameter found last month is the largest for 31 species of Rafflesia flowers in the world
