Default World's Largest Blooming Flower in D.C.

Every time this plant blooms, the same misinformation abounds.

Amorphophallus titanicum has the world's largest inflorescence not flower.

The tiny flowers are crowded around the base of the phallic-looking spadix.

The world's largest flower is Raffesia arnoldii.
