A very interesting video. Precise and to the point. I saw my very first Rafflesia (cantleyi?) In Royal Bellum Rainforest yesterday. Strangely the smell was not very strong and the flower was fully opened but clearly at an early stage of its short lifespan.

When that dude put his face really near to the flower, I kept expecting it to quickly close on his face like a venus fly trap and eat him! lol! He must have thought the same thing the way he was flinching, althogh it may have been the smell. You can really see how people used to think there were man eating plants!
