4 most unusual plants in the world

Nature can be very strange and sometimes its creations can be simply amazing. Please, do not give this plant to your girlfriend for Valentine's Day ...

Dracunculus Vulgaris



The Dracunculus Vulgaris has a smell of rotting bodies; it has Burgundy colors and a black, large pestle in the middle.

Rafflesia Arnoldii


This parasitic plant has the biggest flower among all known plant species which can grow to a whopping 1 meter. The flower is flesh-colored with dots which look like acne on the skin. The plant smells incredibly bad and has a big hole in the middle. It has no leaves, stems or roots.

Hydnora Africana


Another unusual parasitic plant; it has color of the skin and it attacks the nearby roots in arid deserts of South Africa. Its flowers smell and that is what attracts vulture bugs.

Amorphophallus



Amorphophallus literally means: "penis form" and its name comes from the shape of his black tuck.
