          Who can guess what the image above is?If you are seeing this for the first time their is 99. 9%  assurance that you would be wrong.Come to think of it by mere looking at it an average human will think of it as been a monkey or a baby monkey that's  not very hard to guess how the Monkey Orchid got its name, but ever since photos of it started circulating on the internet about a year ago, people have had a hard time believing such a flower actually exists.
     As photoshoped as it may look, the Monkey Orchid actually exists, and yes, it really does match the grinning face of a very small monkey. The scientific name of this very rare flower is Dracula simia, with the first part hinting at the resemblance between its two long spurs to the fangs of Bram Stoker’s famous vampire count, and the second meaning “monkey” in Latin. It only grows in the mountainous regions of Ecuador, Colombia andPeru, at an elevation of between 1,000 and 2,000 meters above sea level, but there are a few lucky collectors who have managed to grow it in “captivity”. The Monkey orchid is not season specific, and in its natural habitat it can flower at any time. As if its striking resemblance to a monkey’s face wasn’t astounding enough, this flower actually smells a lot like a ripe orange, as well. Which is kind of ironic, because with a face like that you’d expect it to smell like bananas, right?
      Organisms are so diverse that some plant would have resemblance of an animal and vice versa,sometimes having both animal and plant features such as euglena that has both animal and plant properties.
      With this article i hope any time you come across this  specie again you would not mistaken it for a monkey.
