Tour Description;
The uniqueness of the Rafflesia is not just its size and appearance, but the fact that it is a parasite that is totally dependent to a host vine (Tetrastigma, of the grape family) for survival and that the only visible part is the vine and flower. It has no roots, leaves or stem – nothing that is green. The varieties found here are R.hasseltii and R.kerrii although some intermediate species have been located.
In this package, we’ll show you the bloom which is indeed a rare privilege. You’ll have an insight to the special characteristic of this unique species and learn of how the largest flower in the world survives in its natural habitat.
