10 of the World’s Weirdest Flowers

Hope we don't have to kiss these little wonders goodbye anytime soon! Another strikingly beautiful flower that we're not sure if we should run from — the Bat Face Cuphea Cuphea Iluvea. This heat-loving perennial is native to Mexico and grows in sprawling mounds that are characterized by their bright red and dark purple tubular flowers resembling the face of a bat. The plant is extremely drought-resistant and heat-tolerant, but still enjoys a good watering once per week. Bat Face Cupheas don't simply add pops and splashes of color to the garden; they attract hummingbirds and butterflies, too!

Swallowtail and Sulphur butterflies especially enjoy the sweet nectar hidden inside the little Bat Faces. Considering adding the Bat Face Cuphea to your garden?

When Lithops bloom, it looks extraordinary, with a white or yellow daisy poking out from what appears to be solid stone.

And talk about easy to propagate! If you want to multiply your Living Stones, simply take a leaf off of one, stick it into the pebble bed, and it will take root. If your Living Stone begins to take on a stretched-out or oblong shape, it is because the plant isn't getting enough sunlight. Simply place the little fella in direct sunlight for a few days and watch as it returns to its short, stubby, lovable self. If creepy plants that look like rocks and other things are in your wheelhouse, consider adding the Bleeding Tooth Fungus and the Octopus Stinkhorn don't worry, that last one's just a mushroom.

This monster of a plant was made famous in the movie Dennis the Menace. It blooms so infrequently that whenever one does, it often makes local and sometimes global headlines.
