The Corpse Flower is the world's tallest flower and it smells awful. http://hubpages.com/t/20bfcd
Thanks for asking me this question. A particular favourite of mine are Epiphllum which are rainforest plants from South America. They have extremely spectacular flowers.
I am also fond of Hoya varieties which come from differing regions of China, Indoniesia and other asian countries.
There are also a lot of rather spectacular bulbs, of course most people know tulips and daffodils, but there are also scadoxis and haemanthus which are very unusual.
Of course what is exotic in one country can be more commonplace in others.
Have just joined HubPages so am really feeling inspired to share my knowledge of plants by writing some hubs soon!
I think carnivorous plants are interesting: Venus Fly traps, Pitcher Plants, Octopus Plants, etc. that lure insects with scent and beauty only to trap them for food. http://discovermagazine.com/2001/oct/featplants
Rafflesia arnoldi and Amorphophalus are among them since they're the biggest and the stinkiest flowers in the world.
We have a botanical garden here in Hawaii that has some very rare and unusual plants. Here is a hub I wrote about it with some pictures that you may want to check out.

I have always been fascinated by the mimosa plant - also called Sensitive Plant and the touch-me-not. The leaves close up upon being touched.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to last week's Welsh HubMob, the response was amazing, 47 hubs published in a week. Most of us who were not familiar with Wales and its enormous influence to the USA and worldwide culture in general, have learnt a few things last week. Hopefully...

I just discovered a new problem that may have started with the new text capsule. When I copy and paste a perfectly good link into a new location it adds a second http after the one I already have there. This makes the link fail if someone clicks on it. Example: "http://hubpages.com"...

In light of the Google algo change, it is now obvious and confirmed that hub-hopping is VERY important. I feel that if you publish here, you should hub hop when you can. As it should hopefully increase our revenue and hopefully take this hubpages back to the top, where it belongs.The problem is...
