7 Flowers That Look Like Vaginas (Unexpected Shapes in Nature)

Written by Emily Belkoff

So, I was out in my garden the other day and noticed something weird. 

Some of my flowers looked a bit… private. Yep, you guessed it – they resembled lady bits! 

Let me show you 7 flowers that’ll make you look twice.

7 Flowers with Vagina-like Appearances

1. Poppy Plant

Who knew that such a common flower could be so cheeky? The poppy plant, with its lobed leaves and showy flowers, is a true garden showstopper.

I remember planting these in my backyard, thinking they’d add a splash of color. Little did I know they’d become quite the conversation starter at my summer barbecues!

These annual beauties come in vibrant reds, pinks, whites, oranges, and even purples. Talk about nature’s way of painting the town red (or pink)!

2. African Tulip Flower

Next up is the African tulip flower, a herbaceous perennial that grows from a bulb. With its long narrow leaves and clusters of bright flowers, it’s hard to miss.

I first encountered this beauty on a trip to Hawaii. The tall, slender stalks adorned with red, orange, or yellow blooms certainly caught my eye – and not just for their height!

3. Butterfly Pea

The butterfly pea is a delightful addition to any garden. Its trifolium leaves and showy blue or purple flowers, about 1 to 2 inches in diameter, are a sight to behold.

I use these in my herbal tea blends. Not only do they add a lovely color, but they also give me a little chuckle every time I brew a cup.

4. Venus Flytrap

Now, here’s a plant that’s not just visually intriguing but also a bit feisty! The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant with long pointed leaves growing from a short stem.

I’ve always been fascinated by how its leaf structure resembles… well, you know. It’s divided into a long narrow blade with a short triangular lobe. Nature sure has a sense of humor!

5. Chinese Evergreen

Also known as the “lady flower,” the Chinese Evergreen is a subtle nod to feminine anatomy. Its small green or white spades on short, inconspicuous spikes give it its nickname.

I have one of these in my living room. It’s my little secret joke with nature, sitting innocently among my other houseplants.

6. Hydnora Africana

Talk about unique! The Hydnora Africana has thick fleshy stems and tube-like flowers that are orange or red in color.

These unusually shaped flowers are about 6 to 12 inches long and lined with tiny spiky teeth. I’ve only seen this one in botanical gardens, but it always makes me do a double-take!

7. Burrito Orchid

Last but certainly not least, we have the Burrito Orchid. If there was a contest for “Most Likely to Be Mistaken for Human Anatomy,” this flower would win hands down.

Its incredibly lifelike appearance is truly something to behold. The first time I saw one, I had to blink a few times to make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me!
