[LauritsR]

Roflmao, who else thought at 0:44 it was a chick chilling under the leaves? :D

[Dannnneh]

...female flower? really?

[xFLYBATx]

Wait, isn't it smell like a big piece of rotten meat? >_<

[inplatform]

smelly



[SoulNinjaz]

1. Do they grow when there are too many weeds? (Like in Animal Crossing)

2. Do they really smell like a dead body?

3. (if they do) is that why they are also called a corpse flower?

If anyone knows the answers to these questions, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

[FallenG0d]

Careful, it's going to petal dance the shit out of you.

[bsreeram118]

[cannedcatfood]

i can't seem to find information about the texture. did you touch it? what is it like? thanks

[xDeAdlYSp1Derx]

@boomerman1234 your welcome, anytime :)

[xDeAdlYSp1Derx]

@boomerman1234 no, this plant is harmless, its not carniverous or anything. It jst gives off a powerful scent which attracts numerous Insecta (class of insects), which then pollenate the flower while feeding the inside. So, technically, it's harmless!

[Siti68]

beautiful!

[htirah100]

@boomerman1234 this thing doesnt bite nor moving

[htirah100]

why does this flower is not in selangor?!?!?!i mean you gotta travel hundreds of km to see this

[stephywai09]

[Snowylemons]

those things scare me. they look deep into my soul

[KawaiiGaIx]

Vileplume in disguise!

[NightmareSpriter]

[lexmark136]

[silverpizza100]

[Cambrie990]

o.o rafflesia like in Animal Crossing >.>

[BrammetjeSS]

what will happen if you touch it?

[ottomanski]

Nothing. this one doesn't even smell

[tylerwalker2]

@ottomanski arent they supposed to smell like a dying body or something

[dikajenny]

@ottomanski where is this? indonesia?

[TheDracostar5]

@ottomanski does it do anythin if uput sumthin in da hole ?

[Winston4324]

@ottomanski what if u do inside

[youtheee]

@ottomanski not true, it depends on its gene on BHNMP flower gene's, if female its usually scentless, but males either have horrid smells or rotting flesh, or beautiful smells of nectar to attack different bugs.

[benjieboyhero]

@ottomanski WHAT?! Oh, ok. Have you ever seen a titan arum? When you do, smell it XD. JK DO NOT SMELL A TITAN ARUM

[Xxero0]

Gotta catch 'em all!

[mrproper15]

LMAO I was thinking the same thing

[Fleskhjerta1]

They smell like rotten flesh.

[BigHashTouraj]

that thing looks like its riddled with std's. wouldn't tough it

[kanaru0045]

うえええ

[louiselah]

i was just at this trail some two three weeks ago :) but there were no blooms yet.. only saw a couple of buds..

[ThaIc0n]

lol i'm looking up the boss fight of this flower in ff12, and i came across this. nice vid.

[NPShooter]

Wild Vileplume appeared!

[ShironTheWindragon]

Looking at it for too long makes you wanna think it's gonna swallow your hand/finger, no?

THe Rafflesia is also the "corpse flower", right? Because it smells like a dead body.

[residentevil4life]

oh i love that plant (even if it smells) i remember seeing one in a zoo when i was little and it was like the size of a boulder but i still find it to be a beautiful plant

[idiiidit]

they fucking stink

[Flyinglevel]

what the heck? I got here form an animal crossing video. I never knew these flowers are real... So Amazing!

[halosandbagels]

everything in Animal Crossing is something real....>.>

i suggest looking up some of the fish you may have caught in game and see what they are really like then. the Arapaima is my favorite.

[Night333Walker]

woow i love rafflesias, they are amazing!!!!

=D

[Bowsakirby]

I think someone's town had a little too many weeds in it. XD

(animal crossing reference)

[keybels]

yunno why i think its creepy, because whenever they put their hand near it i thinks its going to move atleast an inch

[JJJDELMUNDO]

wait, why are you so concerned that your "first rafflesia" has to be big, and u were disappointed that it wasn't too red?

[yoshidragon2]

JJJDelMundo, it's because he would rather see it in it's full bloom and beauty.

[WoSHiBadDit]

Vileplume head look like it!But body sucks!

[Kiki099]

yeah it is like Vileplume

[SirDukeSeb]

More like... Vileplume is like a rafflasia. ;)

[Kiki099]

i guess

[SaPpHiReArA]

what does it do?

[Cherryblossoms110]

If i see this flower in animal crossing, Im gonna SCREAM!!!! Luckily it's not harmful in the real world. =D

[ollythrughost]

my fav flower

[ollythrughost]

the are monocarpic

[Pillowchii]

It's called nature Queen, we're not supposed to tamper with it. Leave the poor flower alone. Mistletoe and morning glories are also parasites, I doubt you have a problem with them.

[S9700931G]

LOL if u put ur lan ji0u into the hole wat will hapen?

[fishofjazz]

it will be covered wit fishlol!xDit will be close and nothing!

[icegirl12345]

wow...in animal crossing they seem....more like animated its creepy to see it in reality!

[ZackFair78]

so true..

[azumanga666222]

omg throw a pokeball!

[madkid1999]

i would destroy one with a heavy stick

[ClubPenguinScatman]

ick i had 1 of those in animal crossing

it was horrid flys fly all around it

but

its gone now

[TheCreator4]

You get 'em if you have too many weeds.

I like how this has become a nintendo game discussion.

[canada0606]

DO THEY REACT IF YOU TOUCH THEM?

[thepostfk]

Thats Vileplume!!!!!

[a7broken7angel7]

YEAH IT IS! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[si5544]

thats exactly wut I was thinking lmao

[thebluecastle]

no, they're not carnivorous. they stink because they mimic the smell of rotting flesh in order to get flies to pollinate them

[reignblood1]

Wait..... THEY CAN EAT HUMANS?

[wglianimali94]

bleah, this flower is horrible...

[tanuukii]

HURRY!!!! THROW YOUR POKEBALL!!!

(he's gonna let the Vileplume get away -__-")

[getmewildO2]

tanuukii

we're thinking the same thing.. LOL =D

[KingdomheartsII]

Omg, it must stink there. Raflessias smell like rotting crap.

[papadoom]

The rafflesia is known to be the biggest carnivorous plant, in lieu to both venus flytrap and the other trapping plant, something tube.

They give off bad smell because of the meat they eat. They can eat humans, and have eaten before.

[HookMehUp]

Ugh on a game called Animal Crossing wild world, rafflesias appear in your environment when it's in poor condition

it attracts flies :S

[Mysteri0usChip]

yaa animal crossing i got plae beside the river right! then thr got alot of insects like fly correct i everytime go there catch fliess !

[HookMehUp]

lol, It's a nice way to sell flies and make money, but I'd rather have a good environment.

[ROBKIK8400]

i have a question, are they poisonous????

[slateflash]

No, they aren't.

[snoopygirl00000]

They just smell!

[HookMehUp]

Basically, they're not actually poisonous.

They're quite bad for the environment and it attracts flies cause of its stinkyness.

[EwBriii]

Wow, things like that fascinate me a lot. :]

[slyen]

Did you actually see rafflesia in Sabah? I heard it was very rare to see and it is an extinct parasite/species.

[FinalRoxasXIII]

Not the prettiest flower in the world. Yet, it has it's own beauty.

I've always considered rafflesia flowers to be Parasitic, seeing as they feed off of the nutrients of their host plant.

[contentlocked99]

naw it rots to attract small carnivorous insects so it can eat them, very intelligent way of getting its food

[prsnintheusa]

no, it's not carnivorous. It smells bad so bugs will come and help pollinate them.

[vampang]

I think you're mixing it up with the venus fly trap, lol. but you're close.

[Kurt2424]

It's a good thing you still saw it in bloom because they rot after 3 days...

[purplejane13]

hey arent they found in the phil?

[Kurt2424]

no and yes...no because they were discovered first in java and yes because they are also seen in the philippines...I'm a filipino...

[Xarian]

These things scare the crap out of me and I don't know why.

[vampang]

same here. they look alien.

[haudace]

it is supposed to smell like rotting flesh

[2morrowdies]

does it really have a bad smell?

[ottomanski]

Actually it didn't smell at all. I was surprised myself, but apparently this species is not known for its smell.

[vanillasupremes1]

@ottomanski @ottomanski @ottomanski @ottomanski @ottomanski where did you go to find it? @ottomanski @ottomanski

[mcpodgy]

Thanks for posting this. I was teaching the kids in my class about this flower today and I showed them your video...much better than a picture in a book.
