Flowers That Look Like Things That Are Not Flowers

I recently came across a post showcasing 17 incredible flowers that look like other things. Isn’t it lovely how nature throws these little gifts at the human tendency to anthropomorphize?

Many of them are variations of orchids, which I will be researching more from this point forward, as I’m sure there are wonders to behold in the world of Orchidaceae.

We have a delicate flying friend…

A ballerina…

A happy alien…

Non-human primates…

Isn’t this the most stunning image?

And many amazing plants populate my Evil Garden Pinterest page.

Pretty birds. I’m not too big a fan of flowers since I kill any plants that may be in my care, but these are stunning to see.

Wow, these are stunning! That white dove one is amazing and that last bird thing could be a statue.

Oh, and a few skulls on spikes never hurt anyone!

  Actual skulls on spikes may beg to differ. 😉
