Ever come across a flower that seems far too crazy and colourful to be real?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Our amazing natural world is brimming with funky flowers, but thousands of them elude us due to their rarity or remoteness. Jetting off on a round the world trip for a spot of botany isn’t always possible, so the Blossoming Gifts brigade thought we\u2019d bring some of these hidden treasures to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time for a tour of some bizarrely beautiful botany! Keep reading to discover some of the most unique, rare, and beautiful flowers in the world.

Monkey Face Orchid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dracula simia<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s both cute and creepy how much this rare South American orchid looks like a monkey \u2013 and no, it\u2019s not a clever Photoshop job! It smells like ripe oranges (mmm!) and can be found in the cloud forests of Ecuador and Peru. You\u2019ll need to lace up your hiking boots to see it, as it grows on the side of mountains at an altitude of 2000 metres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flame Lily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gloriosa<\/strong><\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to see why Zimbabwe\u2019s national flower has such a fiery name. Otherwise known as Gloriosa (meaning \u2018full of glory\u2019), this bright red and yellow plant can grow three metres tall and thrives in sand dunes and savannahs. Her Maj was presented with a flame lily diamond brooch when she visited the country shortly before becoming queen, the lucky thing!

Hooker\u2019s Lips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Psychotria Elata<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to the rainforests of central and South America if you want to catch a glimpse of this sexy red plant. Its red bracts look just like juicy red lips, which helps it to attract butterflies, hummingbirds and rare golden silk moths. Predictably, it is a popular love token on Valentine\u2019s Day, but sadly, it is now critically endangered due to continued deforestation.

Naked Man Orchid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orchis italica<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s impossible not to crack a smile when you learn that, yes, there really is an orchid that looks just like a naked man, complete with dangly bits! It\u2019s common throughout the Mediterranean countries and is usually a shade of pink. In Italy, it is believed to aid virility if eaten, and funnily enough, the name \u2018orchis\u2019 means \u2018testicles\u2019…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black Bat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tacca chantrieri<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seriously spooky bloom, native to tropical Asia, is actually a member of the yam family (a starchy root veg). Its big, deep purple flowers are shaped like flying bats and it has long, whisker-like tendrils. One for a quirky Halloween outfit?

Corpse Lily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rafflesia arnoldii<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s stick with the gothic theme for a little longer. Not only does this giant Indonesian plant look monstrous, but it also stinks of rotting flesh. It produces the largest single bloom of any flower on the planet (up to a metre across!) and grows on rainforest floors. It’s reddish, smelly and warm to attract corpse-eating insects \u2013 gross, we know, but luckily it only lives for 36 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flying Duck Orchid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Caleana major<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t say we don\u2019t spoil you, because here\u2019s a second orchid that looks like an animal! This beauty hails from the eucalyptus woodlands of southern and eastern Australia, where it produces flowers that look just like flying ducks. It featured on the country\u2019s postage stamps in the 1980s but is now on its vulnerable plant list due to habitat loss.

Lobster Claw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heliconia<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d be forgiven for mistaking this evergreen hanging plant, also called the parrot flower or false bird of paradise, for very sunburnt bananas! It\u2019s found in South America, from Bolivia to Colombia, and produces lots of yummy nectar for all those brightly-coloured hummingbirds to nosh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devil\u2019s Hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chiranthodendron pentadactylon<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ooh err, here\u2019s another scary one<\/a>. This deep red Mexican flower is shaped just like the devil\u2019s hand, complete with five stamens branching out like clawed fingers. The Aztecs used it to treat heart problems and abdominal pain, but once again, it\u2019s tragically becoming endangered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ballerina Orchid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Caladenia melanema<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easily our prettiest pick, this delicate orchid resembles a dancing ballerina in a blush pink gown. It grows in sand near salt lakes in Australia and is so elusive that few humans have seen it in the wild. Unfortunately, kangaroos and rabbits like to eat it, posing a threat to its survival :(.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desert Pea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swainsona formosa<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head back down under to scout out this funny little flower with its blood red leaves and boggle-eyed black centres. The floral emblem of the state of South Australia, its deep taproot allows it to survive in the barren desert. Koori legend has it that the desert pea sprung up on the spot where a jealous old man killed his young wife and her lover.

Swaddled Babies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anguloa<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How adorable is this creamy orchid that resembles a swaddled newborn baby? It\u2019s native to the mountainous forests of South America and has an alluringly cinnamon scent. Shhh, don\u2019t wake it up…

Unusual Bouquets for Your Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, most of these strange flowers aren’t ones you can have at home (and in the case of the corpse lily, probably not something you’d want there anyway!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
