What is the name of the largest flower in the world?

Ther are two claimant





1) Raffflesia arnoldi and





2) Amorphophallus titanum

What is the name of the largest flower in the world?
Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic flowering plants. It was discovered in the Indonesian rain forest by an Indonesian guide working for Dr. Joseph Arnold in 1818, and named after Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the leader of the expedition. It contains 15-19 species (including four incompletely characterized species as recognized by Meijer 1997), all found in southeastern Asia, on the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra and Kalimantan, West Malaysia, and the Philippines. The plant has no stems, leaves or true roots. It is an endoparasite of vines in the genus Tetrastigma (Vitaceae), spreading its root-like haustoria inside the tissue of the vine. The only part of the plant that can be seen outside the host vine is the five-petaled flower. In some species, such as Rafflesia arnoldii, the flower may be over 100 cm in diameter, and weigh up to 10 kg. Even the smallest species, R. manillana, has 20 cm diameter flowers. The flowers look and smell like rotting meat, hence its local names which translate to "corpse flower" or "meat flower" (but see below). The vile smell that the flower gives off attracts insects such as carrion flies, which transport pollen from male to female flowers. Little is known about seed dispersal, however, tree shrews and other forest mammals apparently eat the fruits and disperse the seeds. Rafflesia is an official state flower of Sabah in Malaysia, as well as for the Surat Thani Province, Thailand.





The name "corpse flower" applied to Rafflesia is confusing because this common name also refers to the Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum) of the family Araceae. Moreover, because Amorphophallus has the world's largest unbranched inflorescence, it is sometimes mistakenly credited as having the world's largest flower. Both Rafflesia and Amorphophallus are flowering plants, but they are still distantly related. Rafflesia arnoldii has the largest single flower of any flowering plant, at least when one judges this by weight. Amorphophallus titanum has the largest unbranched inflorescence, while the Talipot palm (Corypha umbraculifera) forms the largest branched inflorescence, containing thousands of flowers; this plant is monocarpic, meaning that individuals die after flowering.

New hypothesis of Rafflesiaceae derived from within Euphorbiaceae. Rafflesiaceae in red, Euphorbiaceae in black (redrawn from Davis et al., 2007).Comparison of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences of Rafflesia with other angiosperm mtDNA indicated that this parasite evolved from photosynthetic plants of the order Malpighiales.[1]. Another study from that same year confirmed this result using both mtDNA and nuclear DNA sequences, and showed that three other groups traditionally classified in Rafflesiaceae were unrelated [2]. A more recent study found Rafflesia and its relatives to be embedded within the family Euphorbiaceae, which is surprising as members of that family typically have very small flowers.[3] According to their analysis, the rate of flower size evolution was more or less constant throughout the family except at the origin of Rafflesiaceae, where the flowers rapidly evolved to become much larger before reverting to the slower rate of change.





[edit] Trivia


This article contains a trivia section.


Content in this section should be integrated into other appropriate areas of the article or removed, and the trivia section removed.





In Final Fantasy XII, "Rafflesia" is the name given to a major enemy in the Feywood stage, whose appearance and abilities appear inspired by the giant bloom.


A "Blue Rafflesia" is also found in Final Fantasy XI. It is one of the needed items to obtain the Opo Opo Crown.


In the Nintendo DS game Animal Crossing: Wild World, Rafflesia is seen as a Giant Plant when weeds overtake your town. You need to pick all weeds to remove the plant from your town.


One of the first Pok茅mon designed is called Vileplume, which evolves from Gloom when the Leaf Stone is used. Vileplume has a gigantic rafflesia on its head, and its Japanese name is "Ruffureshia", which sounds like "Rafflesia". When a Sun Stone is used on Gloom, it instead blooms into the beautiful Bellossom (from the Gold and Silver versions onwards).


Rafflesia also appears as a creature in the popular MMORPG, Ragnarok Online.


One of the Hidden bosses in Mega Man X: Command Mission (PS2, GameCube) is named Rafflesian, and has a flower-like appearance


In the manga Captain Harlock, Rafflesia is the name of the Mazones's queen.


The title of the song Lafflesia by Malice Mizer is an altered spelling of rafflesia, and in the song a beautiful flower is mentioned.
Reply:Amorphophallus titanum is the largest flowering plant in the world.


The common name is "Titan" because it grows so big. Another name is "Mr. Stinky" because when it blooms it emits an odor which exactly mimics those of rotting flesh. This putrid order attracts carrion beetles that pollinate the flower.





After seven years, our plant grew its first flower. The flower may grow up to 4 feet wide and 7 feet tall. And it usually grows up to half a foot per day. Ours opened 55 inches tall, and over 40 inches wide.
Reply:The largest individual or single flower goes to Rafflesia arnoldii.


Titan Arum and Talipot palm are also classified as large flowers and some consider Titan Arum the largest, but they are also considering it's larger organs. The Talipot palm is the largest cluster of flowers.





So, to answer your question- it depends on what type of flower you are looking at:


1. Largest unbranched inflorescence= titan arum (aka Amorphophallus titanum)


2. Largest branched inflorescence= Talipot palm


3. Largest single/ individual flower= Rafflesia arnoldii
Reply:Amorphophallus titanum

Need to know the name of a flower.?

This flower grows very low and prolific. It has a waxy stem and leaves, and is in a variety of colors. Had a bed of it with Dusty Miller outside my door in Maryland. It bloomed every morning in the spring and summer. Little maintainance required. Alway thought it was called peat moss, but it's not known as that in Georgia.

portulaca?
Reply:peat moss is actually a family of wild growing mosses of the sphagnum kind, it is a highly prized natural plant food. The flower w/ a waxy stem is probably some sort of weed or could be a flower derived from the Lily family.

What is the name of the dark painting of a flower?

I remember seeing a relatively small painting that was dark to the point of looking entirely black at a distance. Upon close inspection, it is in fact of a flower.





I saw it about ten years ago. I can't remember if it was at The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, or The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I put the museums in order of likelihood of seeing it there.





I wish I could be more specific but that's the best my memory will provide.

What is the name of the flower that only blooms once, after 15 years? - it has a peachy orangeish colour?

is it the cactus rose

What is the name of the flower that only blooms once, after 15 years? - it has a peachy orangeish colour?
You might be thinking of Rafflesia, a giant tropical orange flower which blooms only after many years (in cultivation, at least) and smells horrible. There are lots of other shy bloomers, though, which grow slowly and wait for the right conditions to bloom, like the Century Plant. That one actually may bloom in as little as 15 years, or 25, or more, and once they bloom, they die. But they leave small "pups" behind, plus whatever seeds they produced when they bloomed.

There are lots of flowers that do this. Crocus flowers live for several days but open only in sunlight and close in the dark and on cloudy days. Daylilies, or hemerocallis, bloom for one day and are gone the next, to be replaced by the next flower in the cluster. Morning glories open in the morning and close by noon.Moonflowers bloom in the evening and close in the morning.

Can anyone tell me the name of this flower?

I'll describe it as best as I can....right now two of these bushes are about 5 feet tall, the flower resembles a hybiscus flower. One bush has purple flowers with a dark reddish center with a yellow cone-like stem in the middle. The other one has white flowers with a dark purpleish/reddish center with a yellow stem. The dark green leaves fall off during the fall months and starts to rebloom in July. Hummingbirds seem to like them, I just have no idea what they are. Thanks

Can anyone tell me the name of this flower?
sounds like Rose of Sharon, Which is a form of Hibiscus. The picture on your little profile name is of bleeding heart. Bleeding heart does not form a shrub that large, nor bloom in July....(it blooms April top may)


Rose of Sharon gets pretty large and very woody. They multiply rapidly from seeds that fall to the ground and you may have stray ones around that you have to mow , weed whack,or pull out

How do i find the flower associated with my name?
The meaning of the name Amy is "beloved."


Amelia (German) hard working.


English form of the Old French name Amée meaning "beloved" (modern French aimée), a vernacular form of the Latin Amata. As an English name, Amy was in use in the Middle Ages and was revived in the 19th century.





Amy is a French name, originally spelled Aimée. The name can be traced back to the Latin word “amare,” which is the verb “to love.” From that verb it evolved into the Latin nickname Amata, which was then transferred to the Old French, Amee, which eventually became Aimee or Amy. The spelling Amy is most common in English-speaking countries, although there are numerous spelling variations available. The spellings Ami and Amie are not likely to be found in France.
Reply:The site www.behindthename.com has a decent reference for first names. According to them, the name "Amy" means "beloved", and originally comes from Queen Amata, wife of King Latinus of the Latins (see Wikipedia). As for facts about your name, I can tell you that there is a type of chrysanthemum that is called Amata, which is a pink mum variation: http://www.acornfarms.com/images/CHRYAMA... As far as animal goes, there may be a more "official" animal associated with the name "Amy", but there is a genus of moths called Amata. They are also known as "tiger moths".

What is the name of a typical flower?
Rose is a good example of the flower you have in mind.





Magnolia grandiflora, and Lotus are other examples.
Reply:"Tribulus terrestris" is the typical flower.
Reply:its a man bush
Reply:Tulip
Reply:Flowers that contain all of the parts that you have mentioned are known as perfect and complete. In order for a flower to be perfect it needs to contain the male parts, known as the stamen, and the female parts, known as the pistil, and both need to be functioning. The stamen is made up of the anther and filament and the pistil is made up of the stigma, style, and ovary. If the flower were to be missing either a male or female part or one was sterile, that flower would be known as imperfect. Complete flowers have the pistil, stamen, corolla, and calyx. Incomplete flowers lack one or more of the pistil, stamen, corolla, or calyx. Flowers that only have the female parts are known as pistillate and male flowers are known as staminate.

Does anyone know the name of the flower that "pops" when you touch it?

When I was younger we used to touch these little yellow/orange flowers on a bush and the bloom would "pop" off. These flowers were in the Michigan/Ohio area where I grew up. The only flower I can find is the bunchberry but it is not the right leaf (too dark and waxy) or color of bloom (white).

Does anyone know the name of the flower that "pops" when you touch it?
Jewelweed aka "touch me nots" are in the Balminaceae family. The orange is Impaties capensis and the yellow is impaties pallida. The seed pods explode when touched. This is a native plant in the US.
Reply:I always leave a few wild jewelweeds in my flower garden. They are very pretty, fun to pop the seed pods ...also try holding a leaf under some water and watch it shine like a bright jewel Report Abuse

I need help finding the name of a red plant/flower?

Last summer I bought a red plant from KMart, but it didn't have a tag on it. I'd like to buy another one but I don't know what it's called. It is a large plant type looking flower, with red fluffy things hanging off. When I replanted it, it got a lot larger, the fluffly red things, fell off and regrew threw out the summer and fall. Can anyone tell me what this plant/flower is called?

sounds like you had a chenille plant
Reply:This is indeed a chenille plant (Acalypha hispida). The red fluffy things can grow to 18 inches long. It's also known as the Red-Hot Cat Tail. Report Abuse

Reply:take a picture of it and show it to the people in the nursery department or even better goto a nursery they are pros. Get you the exact kind. Thats what I would do.

the floral bloom in the photo seems to be ageratum





...those leaves are nicely spaced, surrounding the blooming plant


....the leaves seem unusual to ageratum, and the spent blooms are unique


....usually ageratum blooms on a stem, not exactly above the cotolydons





Edit 1: "wooops" it was late when i answered above, so let me amend my info please...."I agree with Tashi D...'R Scott' is correct in the plant type" and i also stand corrected, the photo must be of the 'dwarf variety' ....i'll ty to keep my input short (next time, i'll use a 'dwarf size' reply)


Thanks Guys


...nice photo too
Reply:Not sure of the real latin name but I think they call them "buttons", like blue or purple buttons. (not to be confused w/ bachelor buttons...totally, totally different.





They are really inexpensive and you can get them at places like walmart and kmart in the spring. I know that they are annuals; so they do not come back every year. (at least here in PA anyway!)





I plant them with red gerraniums and they look really pretty and vibrant together.
Reply:It looks like a perennial. If you say the flower you're trying to identify might be rounder...it could be a Globe Thistle...

But it is definitely not a Lirio...that is a type of Iris...of which this flower is not.
Reply:Your flower is an Ageratum hybrid. Ageratum is an annual and readily available at garden centres in spring for summer flowering, available in powdery blues, white, and sometimes pink, in various sizes from very dwarf to over a foot tall.

What flower name would you put in this sib-set?

this is for my friend's story.





She wants the story to have 3 sisters: Azalea is the youngest, Magnolia is the middle child, and she needs and older sister.





which do you like best for siblings?





Violet, Magnolia, and Azalea


Camellia, Magnolia, and Azalea


Dahlia, Magnolia, and Azalea


Lilac, Magnolia, and Azalea


Rose, Magnolia, and Azalea


Jessamine, Magnolia, and Azalea





they all have to be flower names. suggestions are welcome!

What flower name would you put in this sib-set?
Many parents choose more common and conservative names for their first child and become more daring with their younger children's names. Rose seems like a very good older sister name; I could imagine parents choosing that and then deciding they want something more edgy for their other children. If the parents in the story are rather old-fashioned, or if the oldest daughter is responsible and refined, then I think Rose would be the best choice.





I could also imagine parents picking Lily or Violet for their first daughter, thinking those names were fairly uncommon. When they realize those names have become popular, they pick names for their other daughters that are definitely less familiar. They seem less like "older sister" names to me, though.





Dahlia and Camellia sound like "older sister" names. If the parents in the story are very creative and are the type to pick unusual names right off the bat, one of these might be the best choice. If your friend wants all the girls' names to match in the "ia" or "ea" ending, these coordinate quite nicely.





Lilac and Jessamine don't feel quite right to me with the sibset.





It's good to consider what the oldest daughter will be like in the story and think about which name best suits her personality. It's also important to consider what the girls' parents are like, because THEY are the ones who would have chosen their daughters' names. To make the story feel realistic, your friend should choose names that the parents would have been likely to choose. Without knowing any of that, though, my top choices would be (in order) Rose, Camellia, Dahlia, Violet, and then Lily.
Reply:I personally love Dahlia. I think they definitely flow the best. They're all not quite as "well-known" as other flower names (like Lily, Rose, Violet, etc.).





Plus, they all end in the same sound, and I love that. They all flow extremely well together, in my opinion.





She also sounds like she would make a great older sister. To me, since Violet and Lily (and even Rose) are becoming quite popular, they wouldn't fit the "older sister" character as well, you know?





So, my vote is for Dahlia. It's absolutely gorgeous. I don't really think any other flower name could beat it. She seems perfect to me. :)





-- Amy
Reply:I think Camellia or Dahlia work the best with Magnolia and Azalea, cuz they are a bit long like the other 2 and they end in 'a' and they sound exotic like Magnolia and Azalea do.





Jessamina might work too, if u just add an 'a' on Jessmine.





Violet and Lilac could possibly work too, if ur friend wants the other sis's name to be a bit diff. form her sisters.





Rose and Lily wouldn't work at all IMO, cuz they are too short and too common to go along with Magnolia and Azalea.





Hope this helps and good luck to ur friend with her story, :D.
Reply:LOL ok where is she getting these names LOL Azalea like I said on the other post is on my favorite list of names and actually so is Jessamine, although I have it spelled Jessamyn, thats just to weird. so yes I like Jessamyn or even Jasmine is very pretty. for the story I'd go with Rose or Jasmine for the older sister. or even Lily. I am not really fond of Magnolia though :-/
Reply:I like Violet and Jessamine. I wouldn't pick another name ending in a because the other two already do. I think Magnolia and Azalea are rather unique names and Lily or Rose look a bit plain next to it.


I also like the names Lavender, Clover and Amaryllis. Hope this helps and good luck with the story!
Reply:I'm in looooooooe with the name Dahlia.. I'm actually going to make my penname Bria Dahlia.. but w/e


Rose and Violet sound very mature as the oldest sister's name..


I dont like Jessamine.. Lilac is okay.. maybe Lily?


other suggestions: Blossom or Petunia?
Reply:I like Rose the best, but if i could add a suggestion what about Isla pronounced eye la, its a flower, a pretty name, and sounds mature for the older sister!
Reply:I like Rose, Magnolia and Azalea or Lilly, Magnolia and Azalea.


I think Carnation, Magnolia and Azalea also works, if you like it.
Reply:I like Dahlia or Lilac. Rose and Violet are overused in my opinion. And with siblings like Magnolia and Azalea, I'd want to be unique too! I think my favorite is actually Dahlia!
Reply:Camellia because they all have the lia/lea ending and they are all four syllables.





I think this matches well. Camellia, Magnolia, and Azalea.

Trying to find the name of a flower?

There are many in a pot, they are about 3-5 inches tall. Really fragile. Kinda looks like a clover type plant but the leaves are more triangular. Just 3 leaves on each.

Is it "Oxalis" also called "wood sorrel". It has clover shaped leaves and grows 4" to 8" tall. It's a perennial and comes back every year. It comes in many colors including whites, pinks, yellows, and purple/lavender.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis
Reply:This plant could be Wood Sorrel. Sometimes it blooms a pretty yellow flower. As an herb, it can be eaten small amounts, say, as a garnish on fish as it has a lemony-type flavour. There is oxalic acid in it, so don't feed it to little furry pets, as it may be poisonous to them!

this flower used to be very popular, many years ago, it is tall, with dark green large leaves, and has a flower, usually red, that blooms slowly, up a stalk. I think this flower has a bulb. ?? Any idea ??

The flowers slowly redden up the stalk over several days.
Reply:could be a cannas
Reply:gladiolia
Reply:Are you perhaps thinking of an old-fashioned canna? The original ones meet your description. My grandma used to grow them back in the 40s - 60s, and they were very popular. A lot of people grew them in a flower bed, sometimes with shorter plants in front of them. They grew about 4 to 6 feet tall, and I remember feeling like a midget next to those cannas. Since she lived in Illinois, grandma would dig up the roots and save them in the cellar over the winter, since they aren't hardy in a cold winter climate. They are rhizomes (a thickened root) rather than a true bulb but most people think of them as bulbs.


About 15 or 20 years ago, new varieties of cannas started becoming popular. Now they come in lots of different flower colors, including yellow, orange, pink, cream, white, and bicolors, as well as reds, and there are some with very colorful leaves as well. Many are shorter than the older varieties. But even though I grow some of the new varieties, I will always remember the tall, exotic-looking ones I remember from childhood.

Does anyone know the name of this pink flower?
Vinca is one of the best examples of why you need to know botanical names. Known variously as vinca, periwinkle, and Madagascar periwinkle, summer-flowering vinca is Catharanthus. It is easily confused with Vinca minor and Vinca major. All of them are members of the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. Catharanthus likes the exact opposite conditions of its cousins, which are also called vinca. Catharanthus prefers sunny, hot situations and blooms all summer until frost. The cousins, Vinca minor and Vinca major, are evergreen vining ground cover plants for shade that produce lovely, generally blue, flowers in spring; they are propagated from cuttings not seed. Another cousin, called vinca vine (Vinca major), is a trailing vine with soft green leaves variegated whitish-yellow; it is popular for use in containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets.





Why the name confusion? The plant botanists who first observed Catharanthus noticed that the flower closely resembled Vinca minor, and it does superficially. They named it Vinca rosea. By the time botanists realized the differences between the plants, the name vinca had become too common to change. The botanical name for the summer flowering vinca, however, underwent a few changes from Lochnera to Ammocallis until it was finally classified as Catharanthus. The species name, C. roseus, which means rose-colored, changed only from the feminine rosea to the masculine roseus to match the gender of the Latin name of the genus. The genus name, Catharanthus, translates as "pure flower." Most modern cultivars are a consequence of hybrids made between C. roseus and other Catharanthus species.

Not somethng you shuld plant. They become obnoxious weeds very easily. But I have seen them for sale.
Reply:sour grass or cape sorrel
Reply:Its sorrel. That is Old French for sour. In Texas we called ours sheep shire or sheep sorrel when I was a kid. Don't eat too much.





Dandilions are bitter, sorrel is sour. Sorrel type found in Texas looks sort of like clover with light green leaves that are tiny and the flowers are very small and yellow.

Hard to tell without more info, but it may be creeping phlox this plant also come in pink and white. It is hardy to zone 4 and is great on banks, etc. blooms quite a while.
Reply:If you see it in large masses, or a lot of square footage, or it appears to be planted instead of naturally occuring-I'd say it is "crown vetch" used for erosion control and to cover banks.





Highway depts use it all the time for this type of application.





If the flower is more upright and is clustered in small goups then it is our native phlox
Reply:I do beleive that the "flowers" you see on the side of the roads are not flowers at all. They are a type of weed. They are very pretty but be aware, they are full of red bugs.
Reply:Ajuga (sp?) more commonly known as bugel weed. It is quite invasive and great for any area that erodes. It is also an evergreen and has a purple tint to its leaves.

Bugambilia.

What is the name of the flower which is coloured in fuscia,mauve or white and has a sweet smell?
freesia?
Reply:There are so many types of flowers these days that come in those colors. Can you be a little more specific? Is it on a bush, a stalk, large or small flowers, is it spikey like bottle brush or single like a rose or camillia? Does the plant have large leaves or small ones, are they bright or dark green, purple? Bougainvilla, as someone suggested above, is a bright fuschia color with few leaves and thorns on the branches. You see them mostly in hanging pots. I'd love to try to help if you can give more information.





Is it a fower common in a garden or something you would find in a florist shop for bouquets like freesias or lilys?

Pathos is a plant that is hardy. Just water once a week.





Flowers tend to die more quickly than plants. Mums and carnations last the longest. Maybe it is time to consider silk plants and flowers? Easy care.
Reply:I wish I knew of perennials that stay in bloom all during the winter


a pretty sure fire bet for nice fragrent blooms are the paper white narcissis. many large retail stores stock them in january and february. These plants are really just bulbs that need a moderatly warm enviroment (house temperatures) place them in a saucer with pebbles to hold'em upright and just keep water in the bottom, and in 3 weeks you'll have a bunch of lovely white flowers that are the size of buttons. The only drawback is they only bloom once. just be sure to place them near a window so they get some sunlight.

What is the name of a deep orange flower with purple pistils?

The flower was growing in my backyard. It has a touch of purple at the base of each petal. The stem is thick and has hairs on it. The leaves have some fines hairs on them and they also have little needles at the end of each section. I assume it is to protect it from being eaten by bugs or animals.

What is the name of a deep orange flower with purple pistils?
It does sound like a poppy but it would help if you described the flower shape %26amp; leaf shape. Poppies have very distinct flower shape, the leaves are tissue thin, the seed head forms an inverted cone with a "hat", and the buds are very fat and egg shaped.





If it is a poppy as everyone seems to think then this website should have a picture.

Reply:Oriental Poppies- they are a perrenial plant and are quite hardy. Stems exude a milky substance when cut that is an irritant. Because of this substance the flowers don't work well for cut flowers.
