Although the animal kingdom is a wonder to behold, the mysterious bewildering beauty of some flowers is just astonishing!
I spent a couple of hours to search for some of the most visually pleasing and outright weird looking and aptly named flowers I could find, and present them to you for your viewing and reading pleasure. Reading, because each of the names is also a handy Wikipedia link for you to discover more about them: beauty isn't just skin-deep in this case!

In closing, here's a video with some bewilderingly rare plants; make sure to watch part 2 as well!
