Wow, you really do love tropical plants from my climate :)

Well, the only time I've ever seen a Rafflesia was during a mountain hike in the forests of Sarawak (near Borneo). Unfortunately, they don't grow on my side of Malaysia (the peninsular). Are you sure you could endure the smell?

Hi
Well first I would have to actually get them to flower lol. I suspect a flower a meter accross and weighing a couple of kilos would.nt be a corsage flower anyway lol They seemed like an interesting project as the host plant.Tetrastigma grows like a weed here.
I understand that someone has found an easy way to infect
the spores with very reliable results. Haven't found any in N.America but several gardens are attempting them.
You actually seen some in habitat?? Do you know which species and at what altitude?? My understanding is that nothing shows except the flower.Has no stems or leaves.
Probably don't have prayer of actually doing this but sure would be an accomplishment!! gary
