Rafflesia tuan-mudae is a member of the Rafflesiaceae family.
 It lives as a parasite on the "Tetrastigma" vine.
 The enormous flowers may reach up to 1 m in diameter.
 The buds normally emerge where the vine is growing along the ground, unlike some of the other "Rafflesia" species whose buds can emerge from vines hanging in the air.
Popular music in the UK continued to be dominated by American acts, but a homegrown style of pop music had begun to evolve, led by performers such as Cliff Richard and The Shadows.
 The Hollies, The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Merseybeats, The Nashville Teens and The Rolling Stones all formed during this year.
 Novelty records with a British flavour, such as Mike Sarne's "Come Outside", and Anthony Newley's "That Noise", continued to be successful.
"I Think of You" is a song written by Peter Lee Stirling and published in 1963.
 It was a hit for The Merseybeats in May 1964, reaching #5 on the British charts.
 It was also a hit for Freddie & The Dreamers, released in October 1964, and was included on their 1964 album "You Were Mad for Me".
