Your giant flower in picture www.globosapiens.net/picasso/picture-what-is-this-23341.html
looks like a plant from space but is a jungle plant found on three continents of the "aroid" family, possibly an "Amorphophallus rivieri" or "Amorphophallus konjac". They are HUGE flowers upto 8 feet long! See also www.qbgardens.com/blooming/corpseflowerinfo.htm www.tu-darmstadt.de/fb/bio/bot/amorphophallus
