I can see the famous Rafflesia there ^^
To those who dont have a clue to what a Rafflesia flower is…
I’ll juz include a picture and some info ^^ (see, how good am I)
Rafflesia comes after the name of an adventurer and founder of the British colony of Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles. After a jungle expedition in Sumatra(Indonesia) in 1821-22, Raffles and Dr.Joseph Arnold, a young accompanying assistant surgeon in the Navy with a passion for natural history. At the time Sir Stamford was the Governor of Sumatra and while riding on horseback,crossing jungle clad mountainous Sumatra, both of them came across (discovered) this fabulous flower.
A born naturalist Raffles immediately took note of the flower which came to be name Rafflesia arnoldii (after the 2 explorers)
There are about 20 described species of Rafflesia, some only discovered as recently as 1988. They are found on peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand, on Borneo Island. In the restricted areas of the Philipines and in Sumatra text frm this site
Facts about it
1.The world’s largest flower weighing about 9 kg and almost 1 meter wide2.Totally dependent on one particular vine called Tetrastigma (related to the grapevine)
3.The Rafflesia is a disembodied flower. A rootless, leftless and stemless parasite, it drains nourishment and gains physical support from its host vine. Its only body outside the flower consists of strands of fungus-like tissue that grow inside the Tetrastigma vine. It first manifests itself as a tiny bud on the vine’s stem. Most buds rot before they attain maturity, but when they finally open nine or more months, they display five huge, fleshy petals that can reach in extreme cases almost one meter in diameter and weigh over seven kilogrammes
4.Over a period of 12 months, it swells to a cabbage like head that bursts around midnight under the cover of a rainy night to reveal this startling, lurid-red flower. Beauty turns beastly in only a few days. The Rafflesia only flowers for 5 to 6 days, before the petals blacken and the flower withers. The “flowering Beast” begins to smell like a rotting meat, attracting blue bottle flies for pollination
