Hi .. just want to correct something here . the postage stamp that was shown on this video is not an Indonesian stamp but Malaysian. I am from East Malaysia which is situated in the Island of Borneo. Our rainforest do have a lot of this Rafflesia flower.

I am so glad I'd happenstance found this channel. The YouTube truly is an incredible place that contains just about everything we can think of it not think of! It has helped my family so much, from the numerous "how to" to the educating about the things that we have one time or another wondered about. Far better than just reading an encyclopedias but to actually see it is just amazing! It may not have begun like so, but what it's become is truly magical! Now, our family relies on it to learn things and for everything about life 's trivials. It has made us very knowledgeable and our family absolutely can not do without! Thank you to The YouTube creators and it's content creators. Truly the most helpful site ever!

My best friend worked in Southeast Asia for four years. On an organized nature walk for the Canadian workers … research chemists … the group came upon a blooming Corpse Flower. He told me it smelled like a garbage can left out in the sun … I gather that’s an accurate description. Enormous, beautiful, but at a great distance. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

My Queen of the Night plant has gotten huge. She hasn't bloomed in 2 years. I will be patient 😌. Our Praying mantis moved right in on her with all her " arms to climb on and hang upside down. I have 3 air plants growing great on her. I think the daily misting of the air plants and praying mantis ( Vera) is why she has gotten so large. I don't water her soil but twice a month. I value this plant so much. Thank you ⚘️ for this video, most enjoyable!
