See, I did say I couldn't make it look like fun, so I thought I'd go with a picture post. Now I do like an unusual botanical subject, so how about this "beauty"?
I'm reliably informed by Wikipedia that this is Aristolocaceae grandiflora or the Pelican Flower as it is better known. This strangely evocative* flower is one of the largest in the world and reach 60 cm in length.
30% and I encountered this one at a butterfly farm on our visit to Costa Rica in 2018.

* It was interesting that many of our tour companions commented that it seemed vaguely pornographic, but none of us could explain why?

Hi, I
have no idea who reads this stuff, so it's really nice to get some feedback from whoever your are.
All the best
