Recently I was shown this very strange plant, which apparently is blooming…… in our house.
The black dot at the top is the “flower”.
Just to creep you out a bit, here is a closeup.
Now, is it just me, or does that look like some sort of creepy, monster-movie eyeball?
Oh, and if you want to get a little more creepy, here is a flash photo to show off the angry, red center.
Sleeping in a house with that growing in it is problematic.
So here is what you want to look out for.
In case you can’t read the handwriting, the name is Dorstenia Benguellensis .
Sleep well.
