Rafflesia

This plant was on BBC news this morning and it reminded me of a wonderful trip we took to Malaysia years ago. We were lucky to be in the right place at the right time to catch this in flower, and just before it’s death-smell became too strong.

We were also in the right place at the right time on our trip to Borneo in 2019. Such a magnificent flower
