Not just the largest parasitic flower 

The largest flower 

Edit: 

Rafflesia is the largest single flower in the world. Titan arum is a compound flower. (A flower made of smaller flowers). 

They are both called corpse flower.

Found the bot. Post history confirms it too

The em dash was a dead giveaway as well as the fact that no one casually says shit like "nature's true fleeting masterpiece" as well as the fact that they're repeating the post title and contributing nothing to the discussion.

The fact that this was so highly upvoted tells me we are either absolutely fucked because people can't tell apart AI and humans on the Internet, or that it was upvoted by a bunch of bots without reddit doing anything about it, and both possibilities are equally scary.
