Hello Hiveans!! Glad to see you guys again on the great challenge of Amazing Nature Community _
As you know guys, Nature is always be amazing. Every single things that we got in nature have a lot of uniqueness from one another.
Everything in forests, hills, mountains, seas, such as animals and plants is very diverse in various parts of the world.
Therefore, now, I'm going to share with you about one of the rare plants that grows around the Borneo forest, where I live now.
Therefore, I will invite you to explore the Borneo jungle with me! _
This is Corpse Flower. In my Country, this flower called Bunga Bangkai.The scientific name of this flower is Amorphophallus Muelleri. Yes, this type of flower comes from the Amorphophallus family.
This flower has different characteristics from flowers in general by the way. Okay, now let me tell you little bit information about it! _
Amorphophallus Muelleri has a fairly large size, much larger than other flowers. The height of this flower is between 1 to 2 meters, or maybe more than that.
When the flower blooms, the diameter is quite large, colored a mix of green and red, and has the main characteristic that there is a long tube towering from the middle of the flower. _ that's super amazing!
different from other flowers that have a fragrant smell, Amorphophallus Muelleri actually has a very unpleasant smell, like the smell of carrion.
Based on research by experts, the stench produced by this flower has great benefits for its survival, the fungtion is to inviting some insects to come closer and then become their prey, because this flower needs some nutrients from certain insects to survive. Wow, amazing isn't it ? _
For your information, at first glance, this flower is similar to the Amorphophallus Titanum, although they come from the same family, but in fact they're different, because the Amorphophallus Titanum is a more rarer species than this one.
But Amorphophallus Titanum is too hard to find, even I've never seen the flower during this Borneo jungle exploration, so I don't have any pictures to show you guys! ☹
But don't worry, when I find it someday, I'll show you guys, hehe _
And this is my documentation video of this expedition:
Thanks for reading my post by the way, hope you guys love it and see you on the next challeng, have an amazing day everyone! _
Love and Peace @ipul27 ✌🏻_
