This week end, we have had the chance to meet the biggest flower in the World, the Rafflesia. Named after the founder of Singapore and the Raffles hotels (among other things), it only flowers a few days before dying, and it takes it 9 months to reach its adult shape. We haven’t experienced it, but it seems this plant smells like flesh, which attracts flies, a much needed way of transport for its pollen.
