Before reading the article, we predict that it would be about a stinky flower, it is red and big and doesn't look good.

The flower is stink because it looks ugly.]]> 2018-10-03 23:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913222 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913268 Rancid - smell unpleasant, smell really bad.

Carrion - dead animal flesh

Mimic - copy, imitate

Inadvertently - with no intention, accidentally.

Niche - a comfortable way of living

Delirious - can't be described]]> 2018-10-03 23:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913268 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913296 - Why would this type of smelly flower is amongst the world's largest?

- How do flowers know when to evolve its scent to avoid extinction?

- It has a colourful, bright colour like other plants, why can't they get pollinated by bees and butterflies like any other flowers?

- Where can we find these plants?]]> 2018-10-03 23:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913296 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913300 Rafflesia arnoldii is the largest flower on Earth. As they are not pretty like other flowers, they have evolved and it releases rancid carrion smell to attract flies and other insects to visit and lay egg as well as pollinate to avoid them being extinct. Rafflesia is not the only flower that reeks. To keep the insects attract to them, they have been evolved five times to change their scent to avoid the flies and insects from discovering their 'dishonesty', which is realising that they are not laying eggs on a dead corpse.]]> 2018-10-03 23:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913300 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913347 The word 'reek' probably means stinky, smell really bad.

We predict that the flower smell bad because it grows in a bad environment, probably near a landfill and the flower absorbs the smell and it pass on to its next generations.]]> 2018-10-03 23:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913347 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913413 Reek means smell really strong and bad and stinky. Smell like rotting flesh (from the context in the article)

rancid carrion having a really bad smell of a dead animal.

Rafflesia doesn't grow near the landfill, it doesn't absorb the smell from trash, the smell is from the flower

Niche - way of living

- Do they change their smell?

- How do the fragrant flowers produce the bad smell?

- Why do they emit such a bad smell?]]> 2018-10-03 23:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913414 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913416 The flower in the article is the largest one on Earth. It has bad smell because it needs flies and insects to help them carry their pollen to reproduce. They have the smell of lion faeces, dead rats and the carcasses of rock hyraxes. They can also produce heat to imitate a dead corpse as it often produce heat when it decompose. This flower is being 'dishonest' by attracting the flies and insects to pollinate it without giving them any pollen as food, that's why they have to constantly evolve to change smell to keep the insects and flies interested.]]> 2018-10-03 23:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913416 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913425 We think this flower might eat bodies of animals and even humans for food because of its appearance. It might smell very nice and use its special scent to attract other creatures.]]> 2018-10-03 23:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913425 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913502 2018-10-03 23:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913502 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913503 2018-10-03 23:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913503 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913506 2018-10-03 23:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913506 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913517 2018-10-03 23:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913517 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913573 2018-10-03 23:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913573 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913575 2018-10-03 23:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913575 stubbornfish7596 https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913582 2018-10-03 23:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/stubbornfish7596/rafflesia/wish/288913582
