Li Shangyin compared the delicate beauty of the passers-by to hibiscus flowers with the sentence of "Narcissus wants to go to carp, and hibiscus flowers are red and tearful all night". This is not only his romantic technique, but also the consensus of the impression of most flowers at all times and in all countries. Flowers usually symbolize beauty, delicate and charming. In life, people often use "fragrant flowers" and other sentences to praise the flowers and trees in nature. Most of the flowers and plants are also bright and beautiful in appearance, and the words and meanings people give them are also beautiful and romantic.
But in the tropical forest of Sumatra, Indonesia, there is a very strange plant. Its name is dahonghua, which is known as the world's largest flower. When it blooms, it smells like a rotten corpse. So it's also recognized as the world's smelliest flower.
Although dahonghua has a bad smell and not gorgeous appearance, it has a unique and shocking flower language: alone and proud, blooming silently. The origin of dahonghua language is also a sad but inspirational romantic legend.
It is said that there is a girl who has a bad smell. Her body is still very big and no one wants to approach her. One day, she met a handsome young man. She fell in love with the handsome young man. She knew that she could not be with him. To her surprise! When the young man saw her, he not only didn't dislike her, but also liked her. They both liked each other and decided to get married. But the men's parents don't agree. They think girls stink. But the young man said that she (the girl) would not marry! The girl couldn't bear to see her favorite person and her parents falling out, so she went to a small hillside alone and wished the man silently. She stood there for seven days and seven nights, turning into a very big flower, which still stinks as before. Later people found her and called her king flower in surprise!
Dahonghua is the largest flower in the world at present. The local name of dahonghua is bungapatma, which means "the huge and gorgeous flower like lotus leaf". In the harsh living environment, the growth of dahonghua has been severely tested by nature, but they can still produce huge flowers in the barren soil. Although the smell is strange and the appearance is ordinary, dahonghua has withstood the test, ignoring the poor conditions given by nature, quietly blooming in the rainforest and standing alone.
