19. Giant water lily
The Giant water lily (Victoria amazonica) is the largest member of the water lily family. The lily pads are up to 8 feet across and the enormous blossoms are very fragrant, with a pineapple-like smell. It is strong enough to carry children, which makes it a very popular plant to take a family photograph with.
