So there, the largest flower in the world! but first of all, I like to thank Jungle Mike for helping to ID some of the florals. In fact he is a expert in Nepenthes, water plants, fishes & any thing exotic in Borneo! And if you need any help in arranging some really exotic & wild borneo adventures, he may be able to help as well too! Do check out his website & be amazed by the enormous biodiversity of Sarawak.
