I Had No Idea These Even Existed. I May Never, Ever Go Outside Again.. #13, OMG.

Nature is amazing. Just a a quick walk outside is enough to convince most people of the beauty of creation. Occasionally though, Mother Nature likes to throw a curve ball. A freaky curve ball that boggles the mind.


These 20 plants are unbelievably strange. If you ever saw one of these out in the wild, at the very least you’d do a double take. I know if I saw any of these plants on a hike, I’d promptly run away screaming about how the aliens are invading.


1.) The Dracula Orchid. Wow no thanks.
