Flowers are often associated with beauty. They are often chosen as sweet symbols and fantastic gifts for various events or purposes. However, did you know that there are several types of plants that are considered the worst flowers in the world? Unlike the common perception of flowers, some of these plants are actually considered to have negative and unpleasant connotations.

Aristolochia grandiflora, also known as the pelican flower, is a climbing plant that has not only unattractive appearance but also unpleasant aroma. The smell of Aristolochia grandiflora resembles rotten meat, thus attracting many flies to approach. This heart-shaped flower can reach a width of about 8 inches and has a tail that can grow up to 24 inches.

This plant can grow up to 100 cm in its natural habitat. In China, this bat flower is often used as a traditional medicine.

The majority of this plant grows underground, but its flower, which resembles a long melon tongue, appears on the surface of the ground. This flower has an unpleasant aroma, resembling feces, which attracts dung beetles and carrion beetles to visit it.

Stapelia gigantea is a flowering plant often referred to as the "Zulu giant" due to its large size. The flowers of this plant have a shape similar to that of a starfish tentacle and can spread up to 14 inches. The surface of the flower is covered with fine hairs that emit a pungent scent similar to the smell of sulfur. Typically, the flowers of Stapelia gigantea are pink or yellow with dark red lines.
