Part 1
Nature is messed up.
Actually, the whole world is.
Consider the SnapDragon -
Hello Mr Skull, don't you look creepy today.
Is it just by chance that these flowers resemble tiny skulls, or is there some other evolutionary reason?
If there is an evolutionary reason.. how do they know what skulls look like.
The plants have eyes!
Shh they also have ears.
What is the possibility that this plant evolve those little white pieces by accident?
They were totally meant to look like teeth.
I am a bit creeped out.

We know this one..The Venus Fly Trap.
Did you also know that they not only eat insects, the also eat small mammals?
That they survive not from the nitrogen that comes through their roots..
Noo.. they need to eat animals to get that.
An animal eating plant!
What is a bit more on the creepy side is that this plant basically has triggers in its 'mouth' that cause it to close.
It has traps.
I see where it got its name from.
Venus Mouse Trap must have sounded to harsh.
Venus The Serial Killing Plant.
The Dahmer Plant
I went to far...

Amorphophallus Titanum
- Though this isn't the actual translation... it kinda means giant penis without form.
"Titan Arum"
-I guess the giant penis plant wanted a different name
This is the Corpse Flower
-Seriously, how many weird names does one plant need?
Kinda ugly.
This freak of a flower smells like rotting meat.
Hence the name 'Corpse Flower'
Why does it smell like death and not like roses?
To attract certain insects and repel others.
I guess that makes sense.
Humans give off pheromones to attract other humans.
It would be confusing and rather disturbing if our pheromones started attracting plants.
Also impossible.
But I digress.
This 'plant' can grow to be 10 feet tall.
Apparently there was one that weighed over 200 pounds!
This is the same plant.. it looks less freakish and more Nintendo.
This plant originates from Sumatra, which is located in Western Indonesia
Titan, as I like to call it.. has both male and female flowers that grow in the same Inflorescence
When Titan is in bloom it is actually the same temperature as the human body.
The colour of the plant also helps pull off the illusion of meat.
It really must want to be human.
Maybe it is!
It isn't.
It kinda weirds me out. How does it know what meat looks like???
How does it know what the human bodies temperature is??
Why do I care?

What in the hell!
I betcha this is the spy that told the other plants everything!
I prefer the name Marshmellow Egg Eyes
This is one of those plants that fights back.
It can kill you.
In the least it can make feel yucky.
Give you skin blisters
Cause cardiac arrest..
The whole damn plant is poisonous.
But it's the eyes that can kill you.
They have seen too much.
It is also called White Baneberry
Fitting.

This plant needs to see a Doctor.
Sorry, this Fungus needs to see a Doctor.
Or Priest.
I was wrong. It needs to see a Dentist!
Wanna hear something funny?
Not poisonous
Not Carnivorous
Hydnellum Peckii - Scientific Name..
I just read that it forms a mutually beneficial relationship with many coniferous trees ..
Anyone else read that as fungus friends with benefits ?
Maybe it has an std...slutty fungus.
*
Because Octopus Plant was just not fitting enough?
Seriously, if I ever came across this thing I would ...well I would think I just fell down a rabbit hole and was off to visit Alice.
I gotta post more pictures of this one...
Because..
IT HATCHES!!!
This weirdo Fungus hatches out of what looks like and egg.
You can eat this fungus when it is still in the egg stage...They say it sort of tastes like a potato..
I say.. go eat a potato.
So creepy fungopus is a spouting egg...
Then..
Then it turns into that snake from Beetle Juice!
How freaking cool ...and creepy.. is that!
Unfortunately it smells like dog poo.
Oh and it's also known as the Devil's Claw...apparently they had not seen Beetle Juice.

Why does it have to be a Hooker?
What about Lady of the Night Lips?
or
Prostotulip
I should name plants.
Part 2 coming soon.
