BIGGEST Flower in The World! Named: Rafflesia Arnoldii
BIGGEST Flower in The World! Named: Rafflesia Arnoldii
I'm in West Sumatra Indonesia for the
last week I've been searching the giant
rafflesia blooms of the jungle I've been
sending out guides and porters all
directions to see if they can find any
floods developing unfortunately all of
them have come back without any results
but just last night a local contacts so
there's one Rafi CNBLUE and it's not any
other fish yet
it's rafflesia arnoldii I the biggest of
all their fish yet the largest of the
genus and the biggest flower on earth
and it's in bloom just over here and
here it is
what look at the size of this flower
you can see it consists of five petals
they're grown orange and warty this is
meant to resemble carry and inside it's
got hairs like a dead corpse of some
animal and its immense size and then the
smell it smells a little bit like rotten
fish that's now the color this attracts
carrying flies and other pollinators
with the bloom itself last for only
about six to seven days that it dies and
rots
it's a parasite it has no leaves it
consists of a fiber of tissues insulated
a vial or potential sigma-1 and once in
a while it blooms then they will be
other putts in developments in this
forest so let's go look
I can see it
Wow
and this this is the developing
rafflesia button this one is perhaps six
months old so it's got another three to
six months to go for it gets to four
sighs ready to open this is the Tetra
stigma by the host plant that it
perished Isis jared is going all the way
up it's absolutely incredible thick then
this small vine can produce enough
energy to support the biggest flower in
the world.
