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
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
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.
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.
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!!!
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. 🍊
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.

@@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, 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.
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
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!
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.
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.
This is my wild life specialist friend, he found the biggest flower in the world, the Rafflesia!! It talks volumous about how brave we are, as people here, but how taken down we are, by the men in the dark races, it wants to restore us to our original size, as people, and took that on with me!! So it guides me the whole time, and tells me what to do, and when!! It´s a very nice flower, and I think I survived because of it!! It´s very nice, in giving me life back!! You can find it in Homeopathy, regularly, but going under another name there !! Don´t frown on these things that we have here, that´s where life is, as it´s just only a big old blow hole, where most people are told to go, so that they don´t notice that they´re taken over, "Where poison resides, and illness is a claim to life, where you die brutaly, and don´t have any friends here! But you don´t dare to go anywhere else, as what can happen, can happen to you!!!!" That´s what they say here!! So please stop using these weird things now, that don´t have a solution to them!! The things that are given to you, in society, to get rich from, and to die early from, alone, in your staged home!! Should you not go around and look here now, when we have airplanes and all!! It´s very pretty here, and funny too!! That´s what´s called ENTERTAINMENT in your body core!! Flowers don´t bite, but dogs do, in your fantasy, imaginary world! And you don´t want to get bitten by dog bite!! That´s why you don´t do anything here!! Dogs are NICE, and horses too!! They don´t bite at all!! They would never dream of it!! Highly tortured animals might lash out, but nothing else, right??!! What do you think??? I miss my friends abroad too!! Please go there now, and don´t let geeky here take it all!! He doesn´t want to be geeky, but it´s safer!! This is funny business, this stuff, and gets you fresher by the minute!! Nothing lasts in your thinking span, and your emotional span gets new information in it, so that the old falls away easier, much easier!! Cramps are made out of thoughts and emotions, and pains of all sorts and kinds are made out of cramps, and blindings are made out of pains!! So get rid of your pains like this, go and see the biggest flower in the world, on Borneo, as what I did, with my minor light men here!! They were nice, and horny too!! Not scary, but horny!! I got to camp along with them for a whole week!! That was nice that one!! Cheers Jenny, Nike 402 ... I´m not so shy after that... happier, much happier!!! Shy is from childhood, nothing else!! Not good then, but ok, as it´s gone now!! Cheers again!!
Watching this, I felt like the flower could move anytime and eat his head. lmao
lmfao i can't stop thinking about it, thx.

1:09 "And inside it got hairs like a dead corpse of some animal."
That's a weird comparison but OK.
Weird flex but ok
Right I was like huh???
It's due to the smell he made that comparison
😂😂 Exactly
Mohit Bidikar well the flower is meant to replicate dead animal flesh too attract flies, so it makes sense
Looks like it should be under the ocean in a hidden cave somewhere it looks so alien in the forest. Very cool!
Its just a pokèmon playing dead

'Cause it basically is a fungus, bro
@@The_Algae no, it's plant, many plants live that way, like venus fly trap, actually it have leaves, prior to flowering.
You idiot all the childrens. Know you don't know this flower
It’s a parasite
Ya'll are stupid. Its obvious it is a dog
Rafflesias look a little disturbing yet hauntingly beautiful…like something out of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland movie
Not gonna lie, as a kid I had an extreme phobia about this rafflesia and I still have it even now and I'm trying to defeat it by watching these videos
Im in the same problem as you bruh
this thing scared the shit out of me when I was a kid visiting the museum.

And has Gordon Ramseys voice
Andres Mireles Yeah it's actually pretty similar! 😂
Hhh
Isn't anyone else super grossed out by this flower's appearance? Gives me goosebumps.
Me too
Yeah same
Super Mario flower
lol most flowers r so fragrant . Why would be the biggest flower in the world have to be the most stinkiest flower in the world 😂
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
Randell Abijay bcause no one perfect in this world
Bcoz it has to protect itself so that no-one comes near it
Oh so that't where my Vileplume ended up when I lost him.
It's such a beautiful flower sorta makes me think about resident evil 5
Who knew this plant from animal crossing
:O you can get it in animal crossing??
@@CarterNanase animal crossing on nintendo ds . No its always there from the beginning. Damn. Time flys
Omg yeah I hated them stupid fat things couldn’t even get rid of them
You can also get it in New Leaf if you make a horrible town
That's what I thought about as I seen the video popping up.
Fantastic clip. Wish the music hadn't been so loud, though.
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
