The following photos were taken by Mr. Davis who formerly maintained a web site called SumatraFlora - On-Line Nursery. This site is no longer available, but at the time he provided a number of photographs of interesting plants from Sumatra, including Rafflesia arnoldii. The nine photos below were taken in the Palupu Reserve near Bukittinggi, Indonesia.
