"Astrolokia gigantea, the brazilian Dutchman's pipe, or giant pelican flower, is an ornamental plant native to Brazil, Costa Rica and Panama. Typical of subtropical bahia and Minas gerais vegetation, it is a vigorous evergreen climber with cordant heart shaped leaves and spectacular, fragrant flowers. So they weren't flowered open yet. They were still closed as pods. But they really freaked me out. I guess it's because they looked so human. They looked like both female and male genitalia, in my opinion."
