Belgian Flower

The Meise Botanical Garden, yesterday this flower fits in bloom but I can not come and today I visited there to see firsthand this natural wonder, today the giant petals have started to close and will wither and die within a few days to front.

But today I am nostalgic to my childhood, when there is a guide who explains about this flower to visitors in French and Dutch I follow and tell them if I come from Indonesia and I told my story as a child often see flowers like this but the size is smaller. At the bottom of this flower is perforated like a window because before the researchers here take pollen and then stored to help the process of this flower breeding.

I remember this flower also once became one of the pictures in the five hundred rupiah denomination paper a few years ago. May Indonesians become more aware and able to preserve and preserve this rare flower so that it is not extinct and just become a story and memories in the future.
