                                                        1.  Rafflesia
    Rafflesia can be found in the forests of Malaysia, Southern Thailand, Sumatra and Java. 
    But, Rafflesia flowers are fairly hard to locate. It is especially difficult to see them in bloom. 
    Its buds take up to 10 months to develop while its blossom lasts for just a few days.
    Rafflesia has brownish, scale like leaves and fleshy, smelling flowers of various sizes, from 
    few inches to meter big in diameter. We usually notice its large fleshy flowers. There is a 
    deep well in the centre of the flowers. The sexual organs are located beneath the rim of 
    the disk. Male and female flowers are separate.
    The reddish brown colors of the petals, sprinkled with white freckles produce unpleasant 
    stench, similar to rotting flesh. This would attract flies and insects which help disperse the 
    seeds. Rafflesia is parasite, which means it takes the nutrient out of its host.

    small white star-shaped flowers. The Jasmine flower releases its fragrance at night after 
    the sun has set and especially when the moon is waxing towards fullness, thus it is

    have five to nine leaflets, each up to 2½ inches long.
    The plant flowers from April to September. Jasmine is propagated by cuttings of nearly ripe 
    wood in summer. Cuttings are planted in 3-inch pots within 4 weeks, then to 6-inches
