Post a picture of your favorite flower

It's not a flower, it's a snowflake.

 

It may be some type of Skeleton Flower.

I've seen a couple of those on line lately.





The tendrils make it look more like some kind of Spider Lily.

 

I don't know what that is, although I can tell you that there is a cedar tree in the background... but I asked my botany friend and maybe she will know.

 

foxglove...my cats name

 

It is a very rare gourd flower. A friend told me about them because she liked to eat them.

 

we have a bunch of edible flowers here

 

Cat's are kinda gamey if you ask me.

 

thats because you arent supposed to eat them....

 

oops.

 

So it looks like it is a Trichosanthes cucumerina flower or the Snake Gourd. Thank you Beguile!

 

BBad mentioned Orchids resembling female gentalia. Here's another and a link to a couple more.

There aren't nearly as many flowers that resemble the male genitalia.

 

wierdly enough, orchid is often used as a technical euphamisim for testicle, for example, monorchidism is to only have one testicle. (or, only one descended testicle).
