Stinky Flower Related to Poinsetties

Scientists have discovered that the world's largest (and smelliest) flower is related to the Poinsetties. The flower is called Rafflesia, and it reproduces by attracing carrion flies with the smell of rotten meat. The flies pick up the pollen, and pass it from flower to flower.
