    So, only NSFW at a botany lab, or is this too suggestive for the modern office?

    Hey, if these flowers turn into someone like the blonde in this Outer Limits episode (Flower Child), then I'm all for plant sex. :)

    I'm kinda disappointed there is no Fleshbot tag indicating a cross-post. It would be pretty amazing to see it pop up over there.

    So, is #5 a C or D cup size. I'm a little rusty on my plant bust sizing. Also, is it wrong to daydream about deflowering them?

    Further proof that rule 34 is real?

    Also, I'm not sure how your naughty bits work, but I didn't find any of these to be oddly recognizable. =P

    So pretty. I couldn't find it anywhere in the article - does anyone know how these were taken? I'm guessing with SEM.

    @RandomFrequentFlierDent: yes that's right. The December print issue of National Geographic says the images were made with a scanning electron microscope. "The resulting 3-D images, originally black-and-white, were enhanced with color." Photos by Martin Oeggerli, a Swiss molecular biologist.

    omgggg. meat-eating plants. But then, Palawan (the place where they found those plants) is home to a lot of unique flora and fauna, so I'm not really surprised they found meat-eating plants there. -_-
    Do any of you think there'll come a time when, after the plants had evolved and ruled the world, they'll also have vegetarians and carnivores, with the carnivorous plants having organizations equivalent to PETA? lulz

    Interestingly, the local name for pitcher plants is translated to "monkey pots", as people imagined that monkeys could drink out of them. I guess this sort of gives it a different meaning.
