Where in the World #289 - A Meeting of Minds

Greenrider Tresa · Oct 6 2011, 06:31 PM

Lily · Oct 6 2011, 11:27 PM

Is it a tropical plant?

jube · Oct 7 2011, 08:01 AM

Can it be found on an island group?

Greenrider Tresa · Oct 7 2011, 04:33 PM

Uh-oh... .Yes to both.

Rianne · Oct 7 2011, 06:29 PM

it it an united states territory or state?

mawra · Oct 7 2011, 11:49 PM

Intresting plant.

No guesses yet.

Lily · Oct 8 2011, 01:27 AM

Is it a cactus flower?

***Hans*** · Oct 8 2011, 12:54 PM

Is this particular plant growing in "the western world"?

Greenrider Tresa · Oct 8 2011, 04:12 PM

Rianne and Lily: No
Hans: Yes

jube · Oct 8 2011, 09:15 PM

Hmmm, okay, back to basics I guess. Is the island group, a Polynesian* one?

*Most Polynesian cultures have been influenced at some stage by Hans' "western world" question so hence why I'm asking.

Dragon Fan · Oct 8 2011, 10:58 PM

Is it in it's "natural" habitat? ( In the Wild )

Lily · Oct 9 2011, 06:22 AM

Is it a fungus??

Greenrider Tresa · Oct 9 2011, 06:58 PM

Dragon fan: Yes
Lily: No
And apologies to Jube and Hans: I should have said no to Hans. Again, sorry. Guess I had too much else on my mind at the time.

Dragon Fan · Oct 9 2011, 08:52 PM

Is it in an Indonesian island?

***Hans*** · Oct 10 2011, 10:04 AM

Does the island group situated in the Pacific Ocean?

Greenrider Tresa · Oct 10 2011, 04:46 PM

Dragonfan: Yes
Hans: Partly, if I"m reading the map right...

Rianne · Oct 10 2011, 08:00 PM

is the other half of it in the indian ocean?

Dragon Fan · Oct 10 2011, 09:01 PM

Ouch, I was hoping for a no, on that question. Is it in the western half of the island group?

***Hans*** · Oct 11 2011, 06:27 AM

Is it on the island of Borneo?

Lily · Oct 11 2011, 04:44 PM

I think it's the worlds largest flower which can grow up to a metre in diameter, found in the jungles of Borneo

Greenrider Tresa · Oct 11 2011, 05:08 PM

And Lily has it!

Since Hans named Borneo first, they can share the win. Rianne, from what I can tell the Indian ocean isn't involved at all.. .
For those who don't know, it's called the rafflesia arnoldii.

Dragon Fan · Oct 11 2011, 07:33 PM

congrats, Hans And Lilly!

Lily · Oct 12 2011, 05:17 PM

What a weird thing to see for real it must be!

Rianne · Oct 12 2011, 06:49 PM

never mind...

jube · Oct 13 2011, 07:27 AM

Well done Hans and Lily.

Raphy · Nov 5 2011, 11:21 AM

I got here too late. Drat. Looking forward to the next one!
