Worlds Largest Flower
February 23, 2009
In February 2002, an environmental organization discovered what could be one of the world’s largest flowers in the 5,511-hectare Sibalom National Park in Antique province.
Measuring about 22 inches in diameter, the endangered flower, locally named as “Uruy”, (Rafflesia sp.) has no stem and leaves.

Ms. Julie Barcelona, one of the people who keep on discovering rafflesia flowers held a seminar before in our school (Jose Abad Santos High School). I even had the chance to interview her for an article on our newspaper. She’s really intelligent. She’s a feminist too!
