Unique and Rarely Found Flowers

Hello Everyone.
For people who have a hobby of exploring the forest, there are of course many people who know the types of plants and, behind the scenes, people who very rarely know about the forest are of course also surprised when they see or find unique plants. I rarely go exploring in the forest myself, although it is a very exciting activity. Today I actually did it, although not in a dense forest. I plan to look for several species of insects and fungi for stock photo purposes, but something that makes me stop for a moment in front of a unique and rare plant, we call this "Bunga Bangkai", but actually this plant has a scientific name, namely Amorphophallus paeoniifolius and is closely related to Amorphophallus titanum

This type of flower is a parasitic flower, has no chlorophyll, has no leaves, stems, or roots, and this flower can give off a bad smell. This flower is very rare and unique if you pay attention to this flower, it blooms in three days and then withers in about a week. Maybe I was the lucky one to see this flower bloom on the first day. This flower is classified as a tuberous plant and can be eaten or used for medicinal purposes. Although the "Bunga Bangkai" has a bad smell, this flower is high in carbohydrates and low in nutrients. Southeast Asian societies such as Papua Niugini and indigenous Australians have grown this type of plant for basic household needs.

Amorphophallus paeoniifolius is a tropical tuber crop grown primarily in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the tropical Pacific islands. Because of its production potential and popularity as a vegetable in various cuisines, it can be raised as a cash crop.Source : wikipedia.org
