Its sharp hairs are able to penetrate even thick protective gear, and the plant causes a stinging sensation that has been described as "like being burnt with hot acid and electrocuted at the same time." It produces striking tubular, purple to pinkish-violet fruit bodies that grow up to 10 cm (3.9 in) tall and 7 cm (2.8 in) wide. Typically found growing on the stumps and logs of rotting hardwoods, mature specimens may usually be identified by the pinkish color and the distinctive ridged and veined surface of their rubbery caps variations in the color and quantity of light received during development lead to variations in the size, shape, and cap color of fruit bodies. The luminescence is localized to the edges of the gills and the junction of the gills with the stem and cap.
Strains from eastern North America are typically bioluminescent, but those from the Pacific regions of North America and from other continents are not. The milk, or latex, that oozes when the mushroom tissue is cut or broken-a feature common to all members of the Lactarius genus-is also indigo blue, but slowly turns green upon exposure to air. The fruit body color ranges from dark blue in fresh specimens to pale blue-gray in older ones. This spiky tree has large needles and looks like a wooden cactus. The family has 42 species in 15 genera.Įastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and eastern AustraliaĪnother mushroom that smells like a the stench exists for much the same reason as the flowers flies distribute the spores allowing more stinky mushrooms to grow. The majority of species are found in eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and eastern Australia. The birds-of-paradise are members of the family Paradisaeidae of the order Passeriformes. Most Stapelia flowers are visibly hairy and generate the odour of rotten flesh when they bloom. A member of the passionflower genus Passiflora, the maypop has large, intricate flowers with prominent styles and stamens. Passiflora incarnata, commonly known as maypop, purple passionflower, true passionflower, wild apricot, and wild passion vine, is a fast-growing perennial vine with climbing or trailing stems.
Unusually for a conifer, weeping larch is deciduous, dropping its needles in the fall. Weeping larch (Larix decidua "Pendula") is a moderately fast-growing European larch cultivar that grows to a modest height of 10 to 12 feet, boasting long, weeping branches. Watermelon radishes are edible globular roots attached to thin stems and wavy green leaves. It is a member of the Brassica (mustard) family along with arugula, broccoli and turnips. The Watermelon radish, also known as Rooseheart or Red Meat, is an heirloom Chinese Daikon radish. It is also known as konjaku, konnyaku potato, devil's tongue, voodoo lily, snake palm, or elephant yam. Konjac is a common name of the Asian plant Amorphophallus konjac, which has an edible corm. Mimosa pudica is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae and Magnoliopsida taxon, often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop. To actually finish pollinating a plant and keep this orchid species going, he has to come in contact with yet another Drakea glyptodon and try to mate with it. The male wasp tries to pick up the fake female wasp and, instead, gets pitched into a mass of pollen. The Drakaea glyptodon mimicks the female thynnid wasp's body. The male picks them up and does his thing to reproduce with them during flight. They also happen to climb on top of plants to signal to the male wasps, who can fly. Does that red thing on the side look like it belongs there? And what's that black thing on top of the red thing? Well, you'll find this appendage on all of the Drakaea glyptodon that you come across.įemale thynnid wasps happen to be flightless.
In case you were wondering, a mature plant can weigh 200 pounds.Ībout the Plant: This endangered orchid from western Australia gets pollinated in a unique way. The heat causes the oils to create the smell that attracts the beetles that pollinate the flower. These exude oils, while the center collects heat. It's not actually one big flower, but thousands upon thousands of little male and female flowers.
According to the IUCN, it’s a “threatened" species. I would imagine that the smell helps prevent it from being eaten, but, despite this defense mechanism, the plant is still very rare.
