Subject: [Aroid-l] Rafflesia flower
size
Regarding the size of the flower of Rafflesia - is that a single bloom or
an inflorescence, such as an Amorphophallus or other aroid, or more relevent,
a Pointsettia? Euphorbs have a cluster of inconspicuous flowers often
surrounded by showy bracts. There appear to be individual small flowers within
the center of the "bloom" in the photographs I had examined. Is there possibly
any truth to this? What is the largest (individual) flower in the plant
kingdom?
