A carrion flower
Looking like a piece of meat.
Carrion flowers have flies as their pollinators and so are very different to flowers that are evolved to attract bees.
In its surrounds.
Even the textures are very different. This is wet from the drizzle falling.
Beautiful. The colors look stunning.

It looks very strange.
Interesting. I wonder if they smell bad.
Wow
really wow
unique flower shape, thanks for sharing
It looks so cute
yes....and i wish i could have one for my collection
look like a good photo shoot
very good photo, but I beleive that it is not a carrion flower at all, it is in fact a type of mushroom called the anemone stinkhorn (Aseroe rubra) and is naturally found in australia, some parts of north america, south africa and a few other places. I have seen them in south africa and they are very beautiful mushrooms. They are one of the few types of mushrooms that use insects to disperse spores and they smell like the carrion flower or rotting meat in order to attract the insects.
That is a unique flower. It looks like starfish though. The close-up photo looks a bit creepy hehe It reminds me of those alien monsters in the movies.
Cheers! :)
really nice photography
