These 16 Flowers Look Like Something Else

Naked Man Orchid (Orchis Italica): Orchis, genus of about 20 species of terrestrial orchids (family Orchidaceae) native to Eurasia and northern Africa. The tuberous roots of the early purple orchid (Orchis mascula) and several other species contain a nutritive starch. In southern Europe they are collected and dried to produce a flour that is mixed with sugar, flavourings, and liquid (such as water or milk) to produce a drink called salep.
