These flowers with their peculiar appearance can scare anyone off even though these are just innocent plants. Here’s a list of some of the spookiest plants we have ever seen. If you can, try to grow them in your garden before Halloween!
1. Doll’s eye
One of the freakiest flowers that can be on Halloween is the Doll’s eye. Does the name scary you already? I’ve always been scared of my doll’s eyes. The plant’s flowers look like eyeballs staring at you. They are white with a black point at the tip. That’s how this freakish plants gets its name.
If you can, you can eat this plant too. It’s not toxic. You’ll look like you are eating eyeballs. Spooky enough?
2. Hydnora Africana
This is a plant with blood-red flowers native to South Africa. Its most stand out feature is the horrible stench its flowers have.
As far as looks are concerned, it looks like a snake from a distance. From close, it has a triple mouth with teeth. Although it looks like this is a carnivorous plant because of the teeth, it doesn’t feed on any insects.
3. Black bat
Thanks to its bat shape and its black and purple colors, this flower would be the perfect decoration for your garden on Halloween night. Its fruits look like bats hanging upside down with long whiskers hanging down. These plants can be tricky to grow though because they require high humidity to bloom and be healthy,
