The world's largest flower 🌸 Rafflesia is a parasitic plant that spends most of its life cycle within its host, a tropical vine, emerging only to bloom. Its flowers are the largest in the world, spanning up to a metre. Despite this, little is known about its life cycle, and it is almost impossible to grow. Chris Thorogood and colleagues went in search of the elusive flowering plant in the hope that what they learned, could help save this plant for the future. https://www.newscientist.com/articl

Rafflesia hasseltii: A plant seen more by tigers than people 🇮🇩 Yesterday, Dr Chris Thorogood from University of Oxford Botanic Garden and Arboretum was part of a team – including Septian Andriki, who’s also in the video – that trekked day and night through tiger-patrolled Sumatran rainforests (an island in Indonesia) to find Rafflesia hasseltii. Few people have ever seen this flower — and the team, incredibly, witnessed it open by night. #FlowersofInstagram #RareFlower #Sumatran #Botanists #B
