Hey there, folks! I’m excited to share with you today about some unbelievable plants that actually exist.
Let’s start with the Milk Melon:
These unique plants can be found in Vietnam and are aptly named Milk Melon due to their resemblance to a woman’s breast.
The Orchis Italica, also known as the naked man orchid, is truly a remarkable plant! This rare orchid from the Mediterranean has a unique shape that sets it apart. Its small, bare snowman-like appearance is where it gets its interesting name. This orchid is found primarily in southern Italy but can also be found in parts of North Africa and the Middle East. However, it is not present in Sardinia and Corsica.
The exotic dracula simia, also known as the monkey orchid, can typically be spotted in high altitude cloud forests of Peru and Ecuador, at over 2,000 meters above sea level. The name ‘Dracula’ comes from the two elongated spurs on its petals resembling fangs, while ‘Simia’ highlights its resemblance to a monkey.
The botanist Luer officially named the orchid in 1978, but it belongs to a family with more than 120 species mostly located in Ecuador. The Monkey Orchid, found in the cloud mountains, can bloom at any time of the year, not limited to a specific season. Its fragrance is reminiscent of a perfectly ripe orange.
