Rafflesia Rotten Flesh

October 17, 2013 by BFiskilis Leave a Comment

It’s the world’s largest flower!

A species of the world’s largest flower, Rafflesia philippensis is a parasitic flower-plant without a stem, leaves or true roots. It is also known for its distinct pungent odour, similar to that of rotten flesh odour. It was found in the mountains of Sierra Madre in Aurora. Rafflesia can grow up to 1 meter across, can reach 5 feet in height and weigh up to 11 kilos.

Rising up to 1,000 meter above sea level, Aurora Memorial National Park spans more than 5,000 hectares of mostly lowland dipterocarp forests in the Sierra Madre mountain range.

This particular species is endemic to the area and is just one of ten endemic Philippine species. Over half of the world’s known species of Rafflesia are unique to the country, making the Philippines the global hotspot of Rafflesia edging out even Malaysia and Borneo.

It’s amazing what can regenerate. New species grow when nature is left alone on its own with no human contact, especially in agricultural.

Hi My name is Bill Fiskilis im a devoted father of 5 children, 3 from a previous relationship, now happily married for 2 years to Michelle Malaran/Fiskilis with twins Zak and Zoey. My wife is a filipina from Misamis Oriental. We reside just outside of Shepparton on a farm where I am a Farm Manager in a intensive pig production agricultural enterprise overseeing 8 people and running the day to day operation of the site. I am Greek by blood but was born in Melbourne and have spent my early childhood years travelling back and forward to Greece with me parents. Having Lived in Greece for 4 years before returning to Australia in the 80′s. Other places I have visited are Singapore, Germany, Dubai and have been to Philippines several times. I can speak English, Greek fluently and Tagalog and French a little always striving to learn and better myself in other languages. I enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures I see this as a gateway to learning and seeing whats beyond our shores as there is a wealth of information to learn by others,to better ourselves and to pass on our experiences. I have many hobbies my most is blogging, web design and development. I have worked with various types of tools on portal frameworks and dynamic websites, familiar with building themes for open source CMS such as wordpress, joomla and Drupal to deliver great websites.
