Hi Nery!

Daisy Wilcox is known to have large flowers about 5 inches across. There are some yellow spiders which are said to be six inches across. Hilo Beauty has big flowers too.

Here's a site that lists cultivars with flower measurements: http://botanictreasures.com/psa/Reg-Cultivars.html Some of the newer hybrids have large flowers too.

Florida Colors always lists flower measurements and descriptions on their yearly publications. Here are some of theirs:
