I just checked if this was real (yes I do that a lot :D) and omg, it is! I had never heard of it.
The wiki showed another version of this, called Orchis simia:
Orchis simia, commonly known as the monkey orchid, is a greyish pink to reddish species of the genus Orchis. It gets its common name from its lobed lip which mimics the general shape of a monkey's body.[1]
It looks kinda like something an AI could generate and I feel mildly uneased by this lol
That’s crazy good. I wonder what the evolutionary reason behind it is.
My guess is just to scare things that eat it? Idk it is super interesting
More like mildly terrifying. No thanks monkey flowers.
Invasion of the body snatchers vibe.

Look how adorable!
Very sweet! They remind me of the game with the plastic monkeys where you have to join them all together.
They even have little penises!

Looks like evil monkeys.
