World Bigest Garden

The town is famous for the largest and richest botanical garden on the Balkans and the palace to Queen Maria of Romania (1924). The palace complex consists of a central palace with a high tower, many buildings in a style typical for that time, a park with terraces, lanes and paths, stone alcoves with marvellous columns and sea view.
It was constructed between 1926 and 1937, during the Romanian rule of the region to serve as summer residence to Queen Maria of Romania. The authors of the construction design are Italian architects. The palace complex consists of a number of residential villas originally meant to host Romanian aristocrats, a smoking hall, a wine cellar, a power station, a monastery, a holy spring, a chapel, which still keeps the heart of the queen after her will, a beautiful stone throne under an old tree where Queen Maria loved to watch the sunset, and many other buildings, as well as most notably a park that is today a state-run botanical garden.

World Biggest Garden

At 17 km from Kavarna and 30 km north of Varna, is situated the Balchik city. One of the most beautiful cities on the Bulgarian Black sea coast. Balchik is a small seaside town in Northern Bulgaria which combines the romance of its steep streets with the beauty of the sea. It is one of the oldest European towns.

The Biggest Frog

The Goliath frog is the biggest frog in the world and can grow up to 33cm (13 inches) in length and can weigh up to 3kg (8 lb).
The goliath frog lives mainly in Cameroun and Equatorial Guinea. The frog can live up to 15 years and it eats mainly crabs.

The World's Biggest Flower

The Titan Arum, or "corpse flower," is the world's largest flower, with blooms that can have a diameter of well over a metre. It is also very rare. The fully open flower emits a repulsive, 'rotting-fish' scent. This odour is to attract pollinators which, where it lives, are mainly carrion beetles and flesh flies.

The Titan Arum's natural home is the equatorial rainforest of central Sumatra, in Indonesia. The plant is in the same family as the common houseplants Dieffenbachia and Philodendrons, but is incredibly larger ... The Titan Arum grows from a large tuber that can weigh over 80 kg (170 pounds); the flowering stalk can reach 3 metres in height, and open to a diameter of over a metre. Thousands of true flowers are hidden inside at the base (the fleshy central column). The large, frilly-edged, leafy "skirt" enclosing column is the spathe, which when open resembles an upturned, fluted bell.
This giant flowering structure is called an inflorescence.

The Largest Spider In The World!

This spider is one of the biggest spiders in the world. Living in the Amazons in South America it can reach a length 30 cm from one leg to another. However do not fear this spider because it is virtually harmless to humans. If you would be bitten by this spider then the place where you are bitten would only swell a bit (for a few hours). This isn't all , this spider has urticating hairs that he can send through the air. These hairs are invisible for the human eye and could cause annoying skin irratations! From this I would consider it as a bad pet.
