Nature never ceases to amaze. Well, these particular plants
don’t really “amaze”. They more “creep the ever living sh*t” out of us. Unless
you’re okay with plants that can bleed, or plants that can literally trap your
feet as you walk past them. We thought this was stuff you would see in a horror
film, but you will be very surprised to know that just because you see it in a
movie, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. These plants have some very scary
signature appearances and traits, and you don’t want to mess with them. No,
really! If you ever see these plants, RUN the other way!
10 Bleeding Tooth
Fungus
They are listed as ”inedible,” which implies that
someone attempted to eat one at some point. On the other hand, the bloodlike
substance has anticoagulant and antibacterial properties. It’s
nature’s next penicillin! All you have to do is lick it. Go ahead.
9 Chinese Black
Batflowers
It is kept as an ornamental plant by gardeners who prefer to
cultivate nightmares, and have the balls to live in the presence of a plant
that looks like it crawled out of a Bosch painting and wants to plant its young
in their head.
Their dangling fruit even looks like bats sleeping upside
down, as pictured above.
8 Doll’s Eye
At best, this thing looks like the plants you’d find on some
hostile alien world. At worst, it looks like eyeballs on bloody
stalks, tied together by their stems like the deranged trophy of some serial killer,
used to mark the grave of half a dozen victims.
It’s called the doll’s eye plant, also known by the equally
unsettling name “white baneberry.” Just in case you were actually thinking of
eating this thing, those eyeballs are highly poisonous. Obviously.
7 Sea Anemone
Mushroom/Octopus Stinkhorn
They start out looking like traditional Mario-style
‘shrooms, but that’s just so they can gain your trust. Once they mature, they
“erupt” their red tentacles of smelly horror to attract flies, which then transport
their ”gleba” to another location to reproduce, which is about the
closest thing to the plot of a Lovecraft story that you’ll find in reality.
6 Devil’s Claw
Devil’s claws are kind of like those little thistle
burs that get stuck to your clothes when you walk through a field, except
instead of being tiny, mild annoyances, they look more like some unholy spider
beast from some twisted American McGee version of our childhood. They come from
Arizona,
where they are used by Native Americans to weave baskets.
The horrifying seed pods are designed to latch on to the
feet of passing animals, which will then transport them to another location
before crushing them underfoot and releasing the seeds.
5 Porcupine Tomato
Did we mention that it spreads quickly, and can reach 8 feet
tall by 8 feet wide in a relatively short amount of time? What we’re saying is
that you should be careful stepping out your front door in the morning, because
you never know when a toxic, razor-filled hedge may have sprung up in the middle
of the night.
4 Cedar-Apple Rust
Fungus
CARF is a fungal infection that attacks, you guessed it,
cedar and apple trees. It produces globular fungal balls anywhere from a 1/4
inch to 2 inches in diameter and inflates “spore horns” when the weather gets wet,
transforming it into the Koosh ball from hell. Or, if you prefer, gummy
Cthulhu.
3 Buddha’s Hand
Buddha’s hand is a citrus fruit popular in China and Japan for its strong fragrance. It
fails as a fruit since it’s pretty much all zest and no pulp, but it has other
uses, such as being a feature in Stephen King’s fruit basket centerpiece.
2 Chinese
Fleeceflower
The Chinese use this plant in their traditional medicine
for kidney health, strong bones and hair restoration, and as a mild
laxative, and it’s … Hey, wait a second …
OK, weird, it’s a root that looks like a little dude. But
that’s a rare, onetime fluke, right? It’s not like that’s what this
species typically looks like or anything.
According to traditional Chinese herbalists, these little
dirt trolls are a cure-all for everything from high cholesterol to vaginal
discharge …
1 Various Penis
Shaped Plants
You have been warned! These are not cute little house
plants. These a**hole plants, have a plan of their own. Share, and warn your
friends too!
