Default the most alien looking plants and flowers

I have a thing for really weird looking plants or flowers. So far the two weirdest are (if u ask me) the incense passion flower Click the image to open in full size. and the Bat Flower Click the image to open in full size. What else is there? Post the funkiest flowers! (p.s. i have two huge passion vines in my 125 gal tank. they r really fun!) these are not my pictures. i took them from google images to show waht i was talking about

The inflorescence I have seen on Nepenthes shoots straight up and has lots of small flowers on it. The thread did mention weirdest plants and flowers, not just flowers.

Judging by the last comment of the thread starters first post, "Post the funkiest flowers" AND the fact that both the pictures he posted are flowers, I assumed that he wanted to see flowers. Woops.

Nepes aren't weird anyways. Get some really weird ones up there! :lol:
