This park is dedicated to rafflesia, world’s largest bloom. The park has nearly twelve different species of the flower and the species can be found only in Sumatra and Borneo. Rafflesia is parasitic in nature and grows in the jungle vine stems. However, the blooms grow up to a size covering one meter in its diameter. The reserve at Sabah has several species that are found uniquely in Sabah. The blooms, however, last for a few days and thus there are no assurances as to whether you would be fortunate enough to have a glance. There are Rangers who guide you through the reserve against the payment of an amount.
