weird flowers....

There are some weird and wonderful flowers out there :~)


Chirita ‘Walkerae’ bloom, photographed in the conservatory at the U.S. Botanic Garden.

Doesn’t the tubular part of the flower look
like the torso and leg of a green lizard?!

Bat Face Cuphea (Cuphea llavea), also known as St. Peter’s plant, Tiny Mice and Bunny Ears, is a tender tropical evergreen perennial that prefers partial to full sun and blooms from spring through fall.

Bat Face Cuphea attracts hummingbirds and bees and is drought resistant and heat-tolerant.



Photographed at Green Spring Gardens

The flower that looks like female genetalia !!

And apparently you can make blue coloured
Clitoria ricecake with the flowers !!
