The Puya Raimondii of Bolivia is the Largest Flower on Earth

The Puya raimondii, also known as the "Queen of the Andes", is the largest flower in the world. It blooms only once every 100 years! It looks like an upside-down palm tree, but it's actually a flower. It grown at very high altitudes on the Bolivian "Altiplano" (high plateau) and in some places of neighboring Peru. In Bolivia, you can find it in Comanche, more than 12,000 feet 3.640 meters above sea level. The Puya raimondii can grow to be up to 30 feet 10 meters tall, and each individual plant can have up to 3000 flowers and 6 million seeds!
