L’étrange fleur d’#Hydnora africana semble presque extraterrestre, mais en fait elle est finement adaptée pour la pollinisation dans son habitat aride. Cette plante, résidente d'Afrique australe, ne sort du sol que pour fleurir. Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydnora_a…

A leafless parasitic plant leeches nutrients from the roots of others. Warty stems remain hidden underground until heavy rain when it flowers. Fleshy petals open to release an odour of faeces to attract pollinating dung beetles #hydnora #ittakesallsorts newscientist.com/article/235528…

@LumixUK Cool pic! This is one of the last photos we took with our #Lumixcamera before it broke and starting giving that #zoomsystemerror message that we tweeted you about with no response.😪 This is a #Hydnora abyssinca in #Machakos.

Nectar reflecting sunlight off the inflorescence bracts of Euphoria dregeana, the only known host plant for the very rare #Hydnora triceps, a plant that looks more like a fungus. Euphorbia "flowers" are some of the biggest nectar producers for beetles & flies in Namaqualand.
