Difficult to believe what a Pony Tail Palm looks like when it is all grown up! A lot different than the ones you see in the doctors/dentist/lawyers offices.

amazing flowers... lovely.

Thanks for sharing the link. Stunning!

Absolutely Beautiful.  Now I want the seeds.

Thank you for posting.

Amazing creations indeed!
Thanks for sharing Akram :)

I actually had to look up the monkey face orchid to make sure it's a real flower and not a photoshop job. It's insane to think those are real... I can only imagine what survival mechanism would have caused those flowers to evolve in such a manner.

Edit: For more images of the monkey face orchid as well as other orchid which look like animals take a look at the following link: http://www.thefeaturedcreature.com/2013/01/6-amazing-orchids-that-look-just-like-animals.html

Did not see this Florida native on either list. The octopus orchid.

Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for that. By the way, the Dracula simia differ from their relatives the Masdevallias in that they attract pollinator insects that eat fungus and so that part that forms what looks like the mouth is meant to imitate the shape of a mushroom and they even emit an odor reminiscent of fungus. The blossoms don't last as long as Masdevallias. Look for Dracula vampira to be even more amused.

Brent, that Prosthecaea cochleata (or whatever they're calling it now) looks great. Did you know they have a wonderful sweet fragrance? P. radiate does, too and both are relatively easy to grow.

OttawanZ5 thanks for posting i have had a plant and didnt know the name for over ten years and found it in one of the pictures. thanks

Dale, that is not my pic or plant but I used to care for one that was an albino or perhaps a hybrid? It had a green and yellow hood, and it did have a nice fragrance.

Amazing. Thanks Akram.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice. Beautiful. Stunning!

I have the octopus orchid, and that was why I got him because it was just so cool. Excellent collection of flowers, so I'd love to have others I think will give me nightmares..

Amazing and beautiful makes you glad to be alive.
