Species of rare flower found in Aurora.........

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- "It was beautiful."

Forester Max Millan Jr. of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) only has these words to say when he stumbled upon the world's largest flower, Rafflesia manillana, during a routine biological survey in the thick forests of the Sierra Madre mountains in Aurora.
The biodiversity expedition found at least 304 species of plants and 142 species of animals thriving in the 17,000-hectare forests in Central Luzon’s tallest mountain, including six other plant species that can only be found in Luzon.
