It pastes with its stem's foot where you stand: stand on the ground and paste.
Rafflesia arnoldii has the largest single flower of any plant, up to about a metre across, and grows in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo. It has no leaves or stem: it lives inside a vine and smells of rotting meat, which draws the flies that pollinate it. Minecraft has nothing like it.
This one lies flat on the forest floor: five lobes of red terracotta, granite and red nether bricks, spotted with warts of mushroom stem, round a cup with its rim rolled in. Pale oak fences make the spikes on the cup's dark floor of black terracotta. The studio also grows it crimson, orange, purple and black.
The flower generator grows it from any seed and in every colourway, with its stem, petals and blocks to change, then downloads a pack of flowers as schematics. Open the rafflesia in the generator.
