Rafflesia hasseltii: A plant seen more by tigers than people 🇮🇩 Yesterday, Dr Chris Thorogood (illustratingbotanist) from oxfordbga was part of a team – including Septian Andriki (bujangpalala44), who’s also in the video – that trekked day and night through tiger-patrolled Sumatran rainforests (an island in Indonesia) to find Rafflesia hasseltii. Few people have ever seen this flower, and the team, incredibly, witnessed it open by night. #FlowersofInstagram #RareFlower #Sumatran #Botanists #BotanistsOfInstagram #Rainforest #RainforestsOfInstagram
