I remember when I was in elementary school first learning about rainforests for fun and I saw a Rafflesia flower in the book. It was one of the first things that got me interested in rainforests. Not only is it the world's biggest flower, but it also happens to be super weird. Like, the blue whale may be the biggest whale, but it's pretty boring compared to a lot of whales. Meanwhile Rafflesia plants are cool and weird- they are pollinated by flies which is weird, they are parasitic which is weird, etc. They are just cool
Yes, Malaysia & Phillipines do have a similar flowers as well, but they are Rafflesia Kerii or Rafflesia Cantleyi. While the biggest one, Rafflesia Arnoldii only grow in Indonesia.
When in full bloom it releases fumes that smell like death and decay. When the flower dies it smells less like death/decay and more like a rotting flower.
Vegans say plants don't feel pain well why does this plant smell soooo bad and the titan flower aswel stinks aswel plants are actually clever and sentient
Stewart McPherson is such an unlikely host - I mean, he doesn't have the normal traits that I expect in a presenter. Yet, here he is, getting in amongst it in the jungle. Great job! Prefer your videos to 99% of similar content on broadcast television.

Redfern Natural History Productions nice the biggest flower in the world. We also have it in the philippines and you can find it in the province of antique in panay region (visayas island) and the locals call it uroy. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I've seen it twice in person. Once in a small jungle area in south central Java and the other time in the jungles of Sumatra. Amazing. I've also seen the even bigger inflorescence amorphophallus titanum three or four times. All these were in either botanical gardens or the local zoo here in Hio, HI where I now live. Those aren't technically flowers though they look like it and can reach 10 feet tall!!!
As with Rafflesia arnoldii, some exotic-looking mushrooms such as Clathrus ruber do have the same orange-red color and fleshy consistency and foremost they also emanate the same foul odor typical of decaying flesh. At the chemical level they all probably all contain Putrescine and Cadaverine, two main compounds found in the decomposition of amino acids in dead organisms. Rafflesia Arnoldii uses its foul odor to attract flies, responsible for its pollination and the perpetuation of its life cycle.
Fantastic video. Thank you. I used Tetrastigma in plant displays in the UK. It's a climbing plant and I never knew this huge flower uses this plant has a host to live. 🍊
You know I feel bad for all these survival dudes walking through a humid insect filled jungles. but these camera men following them carrying equipment and still can hike with them is even more praiseworthy
Kami orang rejang menyebutnya dengan nama bunga #bokoa_iben_sekdei artinya bakul iban sama besar. Biasanya orang zaman dulu mengambilnya kalo nemu.karna itu obat (gateii) kalo bahasa indonesia alergi.
Interesting, but honestly it's scary to keep looking at this flower. The more you look at it, the more it gives kinda weird feeling. I mean an unpleasant feeling.
When you get them in animal crossing, it’s impossible to remove it manually. You have to pluck out ALL the weeds in your town and then the flower will wilt the next day. This was implemented to discourage time traveling.
Wow, what an AMAZING video! :D Any of these growable in captivity? I'd suppose with great difficulty - as non-parasitic corpse flowers like the Amorpohphallus are more common. But it would be deeply fascinating to cultivate a greenhouseful ^^
Haitaka123 Yeah, even the Amorphophallus species are considered to be for more-experienced gardeners; I don't even think that Rafflesia species are even able to be grown in captivity.
Vileplume : competitive tier : NU, base stat total : 490 a good grass tank if you are going up against somebody unprepared, mostly because most people would never expect an OP grass type. (fun fact, only 3 grass types are OU!) incredibly high special attack. (flaws, low speed, slightly bad attack) ORAS dex entries : AS : Vileplume has the world’s largest petals. They are used to attract prey that are then doused with toxic spores. Once the prey are immobilized, this Pokémon catches and devours them. OR : Vileplume’s toxic pollen triggers atrocious allergy attacks. That’s why it is advisable never to approach any attractive flowers in a jungle, however pretty they may be.
@@DONWEBA no, *Raflesia is not from Japanese name* and *not from Japan.* *From Indonesia,* there is a British people who found this flower. His name is *Rafles,* so He gave a name *"Raflesia"* for this flower
Wow so the flower takes approximately nine months to bloom and then it dies after seven days, nature is so weird. This flower should question its existentialism 😂
Can you imagine this guy in the morning? Clad in a long-sleeve dress shirt and slacks. Wife - Where are you off to? Guy - To climb around in the rainforest!
So luckyyyy!! I wish I was able to see the arnoldii! I only saw the smallest species of it called Priceii or so and it was on day 6 of blooming. I saw it in Malaysia in Kota Kinbalu.
Watching this, I felt like the flower could move anytime and eat his head. lmao
lmfao i can't stop thinking about it, thx.

Mohit Bidikar well the flower is meant to replicate dead animal flesh too attract flies, so it makes sense
Nope that’s actually a creature that escaped the Upside Down

Im in the same problem as you bruh
this flower invokes a feeling in me that's somewhere between fight-or-flight and chills

depend on who you talking to, its the best flower ever exist acording to flies...
Because it supposed to live and reproduce. If it can do it with flies... why not?
Randell Abijay Because it is the shelter for many bacterias

So true...
not only in indonesia ..it can also be found here in antique Philippines
Mafe Valdevieso it's tropical
This flower was found in Indonesia for the first time
My science teacher told us that that smells bad, she also told us that we can also find rafflesia arnoldii in the Philippines.
I think in the Philippines is thr another genus of rafflesia, rafflesia Arnoldi is native to indonesia i think
Rafflesia arnoldi only grow in indonesia in bengkulu
Fantastic clip. Wish the music hadn't been so loud, though.
Every time one blooms, a Demogorgon comes into the world.
