How bout this big one:
Rafflesia-Arnoldii.jpg

I wish I could add this to my garden haha
I may be mistaking it for another plant, but I believe I remember this one from my plant physiology class. Is that one of the flowers that smells terrible and almost rotting, kind of like certain pitcher plants?

Those are gorgeous. Are they normal, edible cabbages or are they some kind of exotic flower that looks like a cabbage? They look like a hybrid of red cabbage and regular cabbage.
To be honest, I have no idea. It's not me who took that picture. I can only say that I wouldn't try to eat them:p I prefer to stay away from weird looking, very colorful vegetables.

ACSAPA and claudine

Ornamental cabbages and kale are generally only grown for ornamental purposes - as although they are actually edible - I doubt you would enjoy eating them - as they are said to be extremely bitter.

Just couldn't resist adding this strange little plant - as apart from being rather strange and unique looking - think not only is its name kinda cute but the whole plant too :D

Calceolaria Uniflora - more commonly known as " The Happy Alien Plant "

Wow looking at all of the picture these are all really interesting flowers but are both very beautiful at the same time. Thanks for sharing all of your pictures.

Have you ever heard of Sea Poison Tree? It looks so weird! All parts of this plant are poisonous. So, even though I find it pretty, I would never plant it in my garden, it's too dangerous.
