Picture from: -Rafflesia_sumatra author ma_suska 2007 WikipediaHi Everyone!!!
Did you know that the Rafflesia can grow up to 1 meter in length. Its leaves start decomposing as soon as the Rafflesia is fully grown. These fully decomposed leaves smell like rotting meat so all the scavengers go straight to it. when one lands on a leaf that's when the raffelisa pops up into a closed rose shape. Then the animal with no escape gets digested.
Cheers
