Dark Vader flower
1
0
This sinister flower looks just like the Dark Vader. Aristolochia salvadorensis platensis originates from the humid regions of Central America. Many emit a malodorous scent of rotting flesh, used to attract numerous small pollinating insects. This coupled with their coloring, venation and curious form helps them attract pollinating insects, which fall into a cauldron, or trap, and incidentally pollinate the flowers.
