Conservationists have discovered the world's largest flower bloom ever recorded in a remote jungle in Indonesia's West Sumatra. The specimen is a giant Rafflesia tuan-mudae, a species that only bloom for about 7 days at the end of the plant's lifespan. The flower measures 3.6 foot (111 centimeters) in diameter, which makes it larger than the previous record-holder by 4 centimeters, also a Rafflesia tuan-mudae.
