RE: Unique and Rarely Found Flowers

Hello @anzirpasai I just read your post and I wanted to congratulate you for your pics and the post. Just, if I may, would like to comment that Amorphopallus paeoniifolius is not a parasitic species, and it has leaves and stems. The thing is that the stems is rhizomatous and it grows only below ground and the leaves died just before the plant blooms. So it easy to mistake it for a parasitc species. I leave you a link to www.iaturalist.org to several Amophophallus species with both reproductive and vegetative structures. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?iconic_taxa=Plantae&place_id=any&taxon_id=62195.
Hope my comment to be of some help.

Thank you very much brother for providing input. I also still have doubts about this plant species. but some sources that I found that the species is a parasitic species. I am very grateful that you have provided accurate information.

For me its a pleasure, a few year ago I worked in a botanical garden and they had an individual just like the one you presented in your pics and I saw it complete its life cicle. Thats why I knew the secuence. I have also smelled the flowers (didnt enjoy it😅), that by the way are often visited by common flies.

You are an amazing brother. that's my reason why people who don't know nature don't know much about plant species. I was really surprised when I found the Flower. it's really unique and I've never seen it.
