Bat Flower, Beautiful and Creepy in Same Time
The Bat Flower, also known as Tacca Chantrieri is one of the world’s most creepiest looking flowers. If you carefully watch this flower you will notice how it incredibly looks similar to bat. Its weird-looking flowers are like the bat faces with huge teeth and their black colors gives them even spookier shape. They can be found in tropical regions of Australia, south-eastern Asia and Africa.
Despite the fact they have such creepy look, they are favorite plants amongst planters and they are often cultivated in decorative purposes in homes and gardens. They are known to be little bit picky about the climate where they are grown but, if you are using right cultivating techniques, you could probably growe it in your home.
They are not friendly with too hot and too dry air. They also need a very precisely chosen mixture of soil which will be light, porous and which will have good draining characteristics .
I don’t know why, but this flower incredibly reminds me on Predator.

Beautiful flowers! I wish I could grow them here, but with our hard, slow draining soil, and 115* plus degree summers with only about 5% humidity, I don’t think they would thrive.
I’m pretty sure those are “Body Snatchers
Wow… Australia: where even the flowers are teririfying.
Most unusual bloom I think I have ever seen and I have a nurserymen’s License.

We’ve all been touched by the noodly appendage.
Amazing
I live in Australia, and these plants would be a long way North from where I am. There are some really strange things in the Tropical North, plants not being the least of them.
Vampire bats to name one. This flower must have modelled itself on them.
I think they are absolutely beautiful – especially against the glossy green foliage.
Wish I could get one in the US
The word “Triffid” comes to mind. If I had one in my garden I would be watching it very carefully! lol
Tee hee I got one at the weekend while looking for something else. Took me totally by surprise have only ever seen it once in real life and almost bought it for an extortionate amount and that was several years ago. It is now 4 days since being the proud owner of one I just hope that I can hang on to it (quite fussy apparently)!
