Summary

[edit]
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)
