Rafflesia cantleyi in Ulu Dong

this species R. cantleyi is not exactly the biggest. But it takes 8-9 months to develop from bud to bloom, and the bloom only lasts for 3 days. The one I saw today started blooming yesterday, top shape today, it would be gone day after tomorrow, wilting into a black clump like this one.
