Perplexing Paranormal Plants

Ah, plants. They can inspire such a diverse range of emotions. Satisfaction and frustration, pride and shame, awe and disgust, care and violence, relief and pain. This is understandable, seeing as plants make up about 85% of every living thing on Earth. If they were all similar it would be a rather boring place to live. So I, for one, am glad that some of them would eat my face if given the opportunity. It makes life interesting. So without further ado, let us look at some of the more extreme members of the plant family. I am including fungi in this collection as well, but acknowledge that they are not, technically, plants.

Lilies


Orchids


Trees


Dangerous & Ominous


Spongy!
