Description: Once bloomed, the Rafflesia starts wilting after three or four days and finally fully decomposes in a week. A bud takes about 6 - 9 months to bloom. That is what makes the flower so rare. Well, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I have seen the Rafflesia flower 'in the flesh'. (not in the rotting flesh, thank goodness! Yes, that's how it smells!) Well, time to move on. (Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013). Date: 1 November 2013, 00:00. Source: The flower lasts just one week. Author: shankar s. from Dubai, united arab emirates.

Description: Rafflesia is the official state flower of Indonesia, the Sabah state in Malaysia, and of the Surat Thani Province, Thailand. What makes these flowers so rare is that it takes nearly six to nine months for the bud to bloom. Once open, the flower lasts for just about a week, in fact it starts decomposing just three days later. Male and female flowers must be open simultaneously for pollination to occur, hence successful pollination and fruit production are quite rare. In addition to habitat loss, these reproductive limitations are contributing factors to why many species are endangered. (Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013). Date: 1 November 2013, 00:00.

Description: Ah, Rafflesia! This is my first sighting of this impressive flower. Large enough though it is, I believe the Indonesian ones are even larger. Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic flowering plants. It contains approximately 28 species (including four incompletely characterized species as recognized by Willem Meijer in 1997), all found in southeastern Asia, on Indonesia, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, Thailand and the Philippines. (Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013). Date: 1 November 2013, 00:00. Source: Ah, Rafflesia!. Author: shankar s. from Dubai, united arab emirates.

Description: The Rafflesia is already showing signs of wilting. But two buds in front of it do offer a glimmer of hope. The plant has no stems, leaves or true roots. It is an holoparasite of vines in the genus Tetrastigma (Vitaceae), spreading its absorptive organ, the haustorium, inside the tissue of the vine. The only part of the plant that can be seen outside the host vine is the five-petaled flower. In some species, such as Rafflesia arnoldii, the flower may be over 100 centimetres (39 in) in diameter, and weigh up to 10 kilograms (22 lb). Even the smallest species, R. baletei, has 12 cm diameter flowers. (Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013). Date: 1 November 2013, 00:00. Source: This Rafflesia is already showing signs of wilting.
