This guy is actually from America, to think that I thought that it was native to Malaysia.
The actual flowers are the three buds at the middle, while the 'petals' that surrounds it are actually 'bracts'- specialized leaves. These bracts were modified to attract pollinators, according to Wikipedia.
Size of each flower (diameter): 0.5 cm
Its can be quite tall, with the highest that I have seen measuring up to half of the height an adult human. But according to Wikipedia (surprise, surprise), it still has much more growth potential.
