Okay, hear me out – plants that look like butts are a thing! I couldn’t stop laughing when I first saw one.
Now I’m always on the lookout for more. Want to see what I’ve found? You won’t believe your eyes!
1. The Juicy Peach
Nature’s Cheeky Fruit
Oh, the peach! This fruit never fails to bring a smile to my face. With its rounded form evoking the image of plump buttocks, it’s hard not to chuckle when you see a perfectly ripe peach hanging from a tree.
But don’t let its amusing shape fool you. This cheeky fruit rewards us gardeners with sweet, delicious flesh that’s perfect for summer pies and cobblers.
The best part? Peaches are surprisingly easy to grow. I remember planting my first peach tree with the kids, and now it’s a beloved feature in our backyard.
2. Lithops: Living Stones
Fleshy Stone-like Leaves
When I first came across lithops, I couldn’t believe my eyes. These fascinating succulents have fleshy, stone-like leaves that bear an uncanny resemblance to a person’s buttocks.
Their unique appearance adds a touch of whimsy and intrigue to any garden. I’ve placed a few in small pots around my patio, and they never fail to spark conversation among guests.
These charming plants induce chuckles and are a great way to introduce children to the world of succulents. My kids love pointing them out and giggling every time we water them.
3. The Buttnut Tree
A Fruitful Surprise
Prepare to be amazed by the buttnut tree! This remarkable tropical tree produces enormous double-seeded fruits that bear a striking resemblance to a human butt.
When I first saw one on a tropical vacation, I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s truly a conversation starter in any landscape, bringing a playful and humorous element to gardens.
While I can’t grow one in my backyard, I’ve framed a photo of it in my garden shed. It never fails to bring a smile to my face when I’m potting plants.
4. Horse Balls
The Giggle-Inducing Flowering Shrub
Brace yourself for a truly unique flowering shrub – the horse balls. With its round, pendulous fruits, this shrub’s resemblance to horse testicles (or small human buttocks) is hard to ignore.
It’s an attention-grabbing plant that adds a dash of comedy to any garden. I planted one near our garden gate, and now it’s become a landmark for giving directions to our house!
Just try not to giggle when you see those distinctive fruits hanging from the branches. It’s impossible, trust me!
5. Family Jewels
Inflated Seed Pods
Last but certainly not least, we have the intriguing Family Jewels plant. This unique specimen features inflated seed pods that capture attention with their resemblance to buttocks and, well, something else too.
With their playful shape and unique texture, they’ll bring a smile to your face and spark conversations among curious garden visitors. I grew these as an experiment last year, and they quickly became the talk of our neighborhood garden club!
These plants are a perfect example of how Mother Nature has a sense of humor. They add a touch of whimsy to any garden.
