West Sumatra, Rafflesia arnoldi (sic)

West Sumatra, Rafflesia arnoldi (sic)

The correct Latin name is Rafflesia arnoldii and the postcard marks this as another “world’s largest” for Indonesia, the world’s largest flower.  What the card does not tell you is that it is a parasitic plant that smells like decaying flesh.  (Not something you would bring to a wedding.)  Unused card.  Grade: 1
