  1. Hi Kauri!

    Wowee these are some really interesting plants!
    I think that it is amazing that the Hydnellum peckii is edible!! That fluid looks strange... I think it kinda looks like a melted lollie, like the ones that are raspberry and cream with jelly in the middle - you know the ones?
    Having a bitter taste doesn't sounds so good though! :)
    Do you think you might try it if you had the chance?

    Man the Rafflesia Arnoldii is huge! A 3 foot flower is amazing, could you imagine a flower like that growing in your backyard?!

    Awesome work here Kauri, was great to read and learn about these two flowers :)

    Nga mihi,
    Ellee :)
