ラフレシア Rafflesia

こちらはポケモンのラフレシア。

This is a Pokemon-Rafflesia.  

 そして、こちらは本物のラフレシア。ケビンのお友達とその家族がインドネシアのスマトラへ旅行に行った時に写した写真をシェアしてくれました。ポケモンのラフレシアは何度も見てましたが、本物の写真を見たのは初めてで、その花の大きさと美しさに感動です！！本当にすごい！！
And here is the real Rafflesia.  Kevin's friend and his family went to Sumatra, Indonesia, took those photos and shared them with us.  I've seen Pokemon-Rafflesia so many times before, but this was my first time seeing the photos of real Rafflesia and I was quite impressed by the size and the beauty of this flower.  It's just amazing!!!

こちらはつぼみだそうです。なーーんか、これがあのめちゃ綺麗な花になるとは。。

This is the buds of Rafflesia.  I can't believe those will grow into such amazing beautiful flowers.
