These flowers are truly amazing, and at the same time mindblowing. At one point, you think they are not true, but they really are. This just proves that there are a lot of things to admire about nature and it will never fail to amuse, and at some cases, surprise us. And that is one of the biggest reasons why we should start caring about it more. Without Mother Nature, there won’t be any flowers like this, maybe there won’t be anything at all!

don't buy any "seeds" for these on ebay. it's a well known scam, especially the monkey orchid one where people think they could grow that shyt. a packet of seeds cost like a $1 and you get some bullshyt seeds and then because you only spent a dollar you're not even bothered that it didn't germinate, but they sell hundreds of thousands of these a year.

these are the kind of orchids that grow in isolation in the wild in a forest in a specific spot under a specific tree or crevice in a mountain.
