JAKARTA - At least two giant flowers of the Tuan-Mudae type bloom simultaneously with a distance of one meter in the Maninjau Nature Reserve area, Marambuang, Palembayan District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra (West Sumatra).
Head of the Conservation Resort Region II Maninjau of the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) of West Sumatra, Ade Putra, said that the two individual RAflesia Tuan-Mudae were in perfect bloom conditions on the second day of one individual and only bloomed on the first day of one individual.
"This individual will fully bloom on Friday (April 25), because currently the new petals are still open," he said in Jambi, Thursday, April 24, which was confiscated by Antal.
He said that one individual rare interest rate protected by Law Number 5 of 1990 as amended into Law 32 of 2024 concerning the conservation of biological natural resources and its ecosystem with a size of 82.5 centimeters based on diameter measurements by West Sumatra BKSDA officers with the Baringin nagari child patrol team (Pagari).
Thisama-Mudae raflesia flower is one of the rarest among the more than 30 species in the world.
"Raflesia Tuan-Mudae only two locations grew in the world, after Sarawak, Malaysia and Palembayan, Agam Regency, Indonesia," he said.
He admitted that the location of the RAflesia Tuan-Mudae flower bloom is in the Maninjau Nature Reserve area.

The existence of this flower was first discovered in 2017 when local residents were looking for water sources for the Pamsimas program.
After receiving the report, West Sumatra BKSDA officers came to the location and found the raflesia flower as a new type.
After that, the West Sumatra BKSDA confirmed the flowers to a raflesia expert from Bengkulu University, Prof. Dr. Agus Susatya. The expert conducted laboratory research and testing.
"Prof. Dr Agus Susatya concluded that it was not the Arnoldii type, but the Mudaes," he said.
In early 2020, theama-Mudae raflesia flower bloomed the largest in the world with a diameter of 111 centimeters. "The formation of the flower was published by the media in 32 countries," he said.
