Because most flowers are so small, you might take it for granted that people are bigger than flowers.
But if you take a good look at the flower in this picture, you can see that this isn't always true. The children standing next to it are much smaller.
The flower in this picture is in Germany, and it is the largest flower in the world. This kind of flower is called a titan arum. It is not unusual for these kind of flowers to grow very big, but this it the tallest flower that anyone has ever measured.
This titan arum is already 2.82m tall, but people in Germany who take care of the flower say that it will probably grow even taller!

Don't take for granted how much your parents love you. You're very lucky.
別把父母對你的愛視為理所當然，你已經非常幸運了。
