Unusual Curious Flowers

Nature is Full of the mighty miracles. and Below that there are many unusual flowers. which are evidence of the fact superfluous. Some unusual flowers like Rafleziya, or Amorphophallus Nepensis. they are already quite popular. so here is something new.

Abrus prayer - It bears its name due to the fact that the seeds are often used for making beads. At the same time they are very poisonous. Pictured is the seeds, not the flower. Actually Arbus gives pods. Such mordoobraznuyu shape like in the picture, the pod is not often.

Living Stone (Lithops) - Lithops are not so different from all the rest, that have created a separate group for it. The name emphasizes the similarity with the stone. What you see, is a plant in the normal state.

And here's what a flowering plant.

Pecteilis radiata - It refers to the orchids. The flower is often so much like a white dove, which did not even believe it.

Fenestraria ( fenestrariya ) - What you see is leaves. In the evolution of leaves folded into a tube, which is closed on top of a sort of lens. Typically a plant is completely hidden and only a sand lens directs the light onto the inner surface, where photosynthesis occurs. Because of this "window" and the plant got its name.

Dracula benedictii - It is not clear why this orchid received Count vampire name. Probably due to the fact that the flower is sometimes similar to such utter eerie mask.

Psychotria elata - Its name is obliged psychotria that contains psychedelic dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Actually DMT is produced naturally in the human lung. But the concentration of the plant is much higher. Action DMT, as they say, it is impossible to describe in words. And then there's the flower looks like a nightmare dreamed up in the lips.

Atseras chelovekonosny - The plant is not for nothing called "chelovekonosnym". A variety of humanoid forms that can take the flowers of this orchid is truly amazing. In the photo - Orchid-ballerina.

Hydnora Africana - Gidnora consists of flowers and roots - no leaves or stem. And the flower on the flower does not look like there is something very alien.

Aristolohiya Salvador - Actually Aristolohii very diverse. But one species is so similar to the famous movie hero that he is quite known as "Darth Vader"

Tacca Chantrieri - Officially flower called "Bat". But I do it causes more association with the bird of paradise West mumps.

Ceropegia haygarthii Tseropediya - has some of the most unusual flowers in nature. "Device" flower is one of the most complex in nature and is more reminiscent of a cinematic maze full of obstacles and traps. The point of all - allow only inside certain insects that pollinate tserpediyu.

Snapdragon - It is quite normal snapdragon can bear fruit very unusual, if snapdragon "Totenkopf" (antirrhinum skull)

Fiberglass Flower (Dvulistnik Gray) - Normal dvulistnik is unremarkable flower. But the Far Eastern species of transparent as glass. At least at me such an association, although more common designation - "Flower skeleton."

Orchid-duck - Although human flower resembles a flying duck, its true purpose is much more insidious. The male wasps sawflies see him as a female. And not just females, but females only attractive, it can be said of female photo models with which ordinary female wasps, sawflies and close can not compete. Moreover, they even smell, as if ready to mate with the first counter sawfly. And these dogs (sorry, these male-sawflies) fly in flocks, which would copulate with objects of desire. Thus there is pollination.
