My mother sent me these photos. Since they’ve been circulating on the Internet, one never knows if they’re real (Thailand is famous for its rare orchids), or if they’re just a really good Photoshop job. Either way, they’re a remarkable work of craftsmanship.
If they’re real, then clearly there are flowers, and then there are flowers…

Well, according to snopes (one of my favorite sites for checking out this sort of thing), this one is actually true!
It is a very rare flower called Impatiens psittacina, and it is found only in north Thailand, Myanmar and portions of east India.

Cap’n: Thanks for the comment, and for checking it out. I love when these things turn out to be real. What an amazing world, to have such a flower in it.
