Rafflesia is a weird flower. It does not bloom regularly, and its flower can last only 1 week. Actually I was supposed to call them to check first, but their phone number was not working. No luck&#8230; probably next time then.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2008\/20080911.jpg\" alt=\"Tambunan Rafflesia Center\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Since I was there, it was a lost not to walk in their forest. The conservation fee is RM50 (about USD15) per group, so you better go in group to share the fee. I waited and joined a group of students, so I paid only RM10.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2008\/20080911_2.jpg\" alt=\"Tambunan Forest\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The main jungle trail is one-way and about 1KM long. At the start, most of the trail is going downward. That means you have to walk &#8220;upward&#8221; when you come back from the same trail. The tips are &#8211; walking slowly and try to save energy at the begining. It is a beautiful rainforest with a lot of tall trees.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2008\/20080911_3.jpg\" alt=\"Tambunan Forest\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Besides rafflesia, another feature of this forest reserve is a legless lizard that looks like snake. Too bad I didn&#8217;t see it.  But if you find any fungus, try to look at its bottom and you may find something interesting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2008\/20080911_4.jpg\" alt=\"Tambunan Forest\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anyone knows the name of this cute beetle? I read from somewhere that it likes to live under fungus. You can find a lot of them under bigger fungus. I am more interested in the small bug under it. It got many legs and has a pair of &#8220;yellow horn.&#8221; What is it?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2008\/20080911_5.jpg\" alt=\"Tambunan Forest\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2008\/20080911_6.jpg\" alt=\"Tambunan Forest\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2008\/20080911_7.jpg\" alt=\"Tambunan Forest\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230; I will come back again if there is rafflesia blooming.<\/p>\n<p><i><small>Photos taken in Tambunan, Sabah, Malaysia Borneo<\/small><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sigh&#8230; no rafflesia blooming at Tambunan Rafflesia Center, after driving 1 hour to get there.
