These 16 Flowers Look Like Something Else

Happy Alien (Calceolaria Uniflora): These amusing little creatures are Calceolaria uniflora - Darwin's Slipper Flower! Discovered by Charles Darwin in his voyage around South America, these unique flowers almost look like little orange penguins marching over the rocks. This is a cool-climate species that probably won't thrive in warm climates. If you can provide the right conditions, it's a delightful collector's plant. Unfortunately, counterfeit seeds are common lately, especially from China. It's rare to find the genuine species for sale.
