I was visiting someone's dream town and saw this interesting thing on the ground. I think it's a giant flower? This is the first time I've ever seen one. What is it, what's it for, and how can I get one?

I think it happens when you have the worse town rating caused by trash or items all over the ground, weeds, dead trees, lack of flowers etc. you can quickly get rid of it by placing a PWP over it :).
 
I had a rafflesia appear in a brand new, weedless town. All I had was items scattered on the beach and I'd chopped all the trees down. >.>
 
It's a Vileplume, and it's purpose is to spawn whenever your town reaches the "worst" rating.

I never encountered this thing and thank god, because I heard it's hard to remove the thing.

For some reason in New Leaf, you can remove it by placing a public works project over the thing.

Vileplume lol
 
I had one in my perfect fruit town only. Picked up all the fruit off the ground and the items on the beach/train station.
It went away for a short period of time and than returned to a different spot.
There are no items on the ground, lots of trees and no weeds. Missing are flowers because they would just die since I don't water them. Also I haven't dug up all the gyroids. It's been awhile.
 
I had one in Wild World and it literally only went away after I got my town to the perfect rating.

But idk, I think it could look cool in certain situations. Too bad it can only appear when your town is full of weeds and (I assume) disappears otherwise.
 
It spawns when the town doesnt have enough flowers & trees and there are weeds. Apparently in real life they are pretty foul smelling which explains the flies that often fly around it. In the past I believe you couldn't get rid of them but you can in new leaf by putting a pwp on top of it or a house, I believe.
 
i just read the title and instantly thought "oh, its that thing"

i wish it wasnt a weed OTL id want one in a different color though, maybe like pink or something
 
you don't really want one tbh. or, i mean, if you do you'll have to make your town super dirty with lots of stuff lying around, no or very few positive pwps, a lot of weeds, and not a lot of flowers or trees. whiiich is a bit sad
