The largest flower in the world, with petals up to 1.4 meters in diameter and growing on the highest mountain in Southeast Asia

Sabah, Malaysia’s most popular island tourist destination, located in the northeast of Kalimantan Island, has the reputation of “under the wind”. In addition to the beautiful and charming island landscape, there are primitive and mysterious rainforests. Traveling to Sabah and exploring the pristine rainforest is also a unique travel experience that cannot be missed. Because, in these mysterious pristine forests, you Shanghai to Hohhot flight will see a lot of magical plants.

In Sabah, Malaysia, there is a peak that is the highest peak in South-East Asia, with an elevation of 4095 meters, and is growing at a speed of 0.5 cm per year. I said here, maybe someone could have guessed it was a “Beijing-Baru, Mt.”.

The city of Baaru, a city of Sabah, in Borneo, Malaysia, was formed between 1000 and 15 million years, a “Shenshan” of awe in the eyes of the local people. “Shab ‘a, Mt.” is one of the most famous places of interest in Malaysia, and you can walk on the mountain and feel the magic of nature under the guidance of the guide.

The mountain is about 85 kilometers from the capital of the Shab ‘a, and takes about two hours to reach. If you don’t have enough physical strength, you can follow the guide to the Mountain National Park (the Mountain National Park), where there are dense primitive forests, precious natural resources, and in particular, you can see the wonderful plants you’ve never seen before.

The National Park of the Bau Mountain in Beijing was founded in 1964, and was listed as the natural heritage of the world by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2000. The park covers more than 750 square kilometers of tropical rain forest reserves, where the natural ecological protection is in good condition, and the animal and plant resources are very rich, especially at the same time a lot of heat and cold belt plants are growing, which is a rare and diverse ecological treasure house on the earth.

It is known as the oldest botanical garden in the world, with more than 1200 species of wild Hu Ji, more than 40 species of oak, a variety of wild rhododendron and wild orchids, as well as the world’s largest flower, (Rafflesia), and the magical “piggy cage grass.” There are also the world’s smallest tree monkeys and face-like insects, known as the ecological paradise of animals and plants.

Because of time, I gave up climbing to the top, chose to go deep into the hinterland of Shenshan, explore the fragrance, feel Shenshan Park towering and enchanting at close range. Follow the guide deep into the hinterland of the park, some parts of the original forest built wooden trestle, some places are primitive soil roads, wet and slippery after the rain is not easy to walk, surrounded by a lot of tropical plants that have never been seen, a little distracted will wrestle. The fertile land, like a magician, constantly changes all kinds of strange plants, dizzying.

One of the most impressive ones is the king’s flowers, which locals also call “Bungapatma”, meaning “lotus leaves of huge flowers.” The king’s flowers grow mainly in tropical rainforests such as Sabah, Indonesia, Java and Sumatra. The flower blooms at an uncertain time, and May-October is its main growing season. When the bud Shanghai to Enshi flight first sprouted, it was only ping-pong in size, but after a few months of growth, the bud gradually became the size of cabbage, and then five fleshy petals opened slowly, but it took two days and two nights to bloom completely.

After blooming, the king’s flowers can only last for 4 to 5 days at the longest. In the process, flowers continue to release a stench. Butterflies, bees and large animals all avoid it, and only smelly insects are used to pollinate it. Therefore, Wang Hua is a fleshy parasitic herbaceous plant rather than a real insect-eating flower. They have very short spindles, no leaves and underground stems, and the nutritious organs degenerated into filamentous, invading into the host’s tissue, and the whole flower is all it has.

Almost all the nutrients absorbed from the host supply the growth of flowers, and the petals can usually unfold as much as 1 meter and up to 1.5 meters, so they have the reputation of “flower king of the world”. The pedestal of the great king flower is developed from the xylem of the host and is shaped like a wide jar. When the petals wither, they will turn into a pile of corrupt black material, with many small seeds hidden in them, which will fall into the soil as the flowers rot and continue to germinate and grow.
