#11 Black Bat Flower (Tacca Chantrieri)

Flowers can hardly get any stranger than the rare black bat flower. It looks like a weird bat, even like an alien being, with wide dark wings and long filaments radiating from the middle. And then there are little “eyes” or “tony heads on long necks” that come towards you from the middle of this very unusual composition.

#17 Chocolate Cosmos (Cosmos Astrosanguoneus)

Chocolate cosmos is rare, it is beautiful but it is not brown. In fact, it does not take its name from the beautiful dolor of its petals. These are of the deepest and velvety dark red. Its aroma though makes it unusual, but not rare. Its flowers do not produce seeds, so it can’t reproduce sexually and it is totally extinct in the wild.

#18 Ghost Orchid (Dendrophylax Lindenii)
