Has anyone seen this? It's proper binomial nomenclature is Impatiens psittacina. It is very rare, was discovered in 1901 grows in small part of Thailand. Amazing!!!!!!
I can't believe not one person has commented on this?!?!?!! It is a frickin rare flower that looks like a parrot for crying out loud!!!!!! What is this world coming to........
Thanks Ilene!!!! I knew I could count on you!!!!
It is facing left. The redish-purplish color is the head, the white is the body, and the purple is the tail. Google parrot flower, maybe you'll find some better pics.
There must not be many pictures of these. I just went to six different sites and they all had the same pictures on it. It is easier to see at a different angle, for me anyway. That is incredible how not only this flower has to have the exact right conditions to bloom, but it also has to have the specific local pollinator to produce the seeds. Very beautiful!
That's funny! Look at my flower that looks like a parrot!
OK, head on left, tail on right.
OK what about this?
It's a pretty flower Wade, really it is.

Shogun, You have violated man LAW number 679. You have been stripped of your manliness.
I think he violated more laws than just that one! He said when it was discovered AND posted where it's found! Then BUMPED IT!!
We won't even talk about the paint feature.

Ouch!!! That sucks!!! I will have to have beer and wings for dinner to work towards getting it back I guess.
How does posting a pic of a rare flower differ from post a rare cool looking zoanthid?

How many times did I look at this.........I don't know. I JUST realized that the right "foot" was the arrow pointing to where it is attatched. Yep, looked like a foot to me...........upside down

shogun, if its any consilation, I disagree with the whole loss of the man-card. Flowers are pretty cool ~ I've actually posted two or three threads with flower pics. Here's the latest https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/326316/roses-anyone
