Nature is amazing and it never ceases to amaze us. It produces many plants that look like something significant to humans. Look at the dragon flower below(Gura leului in Romanian) that looks like the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when laterally squeezed. It is a beautiful flower but does not seem to have anything extraordinary in its shape. If, however, you have the opportunity to see the seed pods of this flower, it is impossible not to notice their resemblance to a human skulls!
The photos are part of my photography project entitled “From flowers to fruits and seeds”.

The seeds look scary but the flowers are wonderful.
As children we used to play with the blossom of these flowers and call them Puppies
The shape and color of the flower is indeed different and unique. What about the scent? Can it be planted at home?
I feel like I might get bitten! Ouch.
Ha ha ha! Very funny! They are not dangerous but they look weird!
Nature can be so incredible to learn about.
Nature is our best teacher!
The flower is beautiful but the seed is really odd.
I grow those in the garden every year and I have a post about it. We call it snap dragon but same flower.
They are pretty flowers. It’s very interesting what we find in nature, we find in ourselves.
