Nature not only looks beautiful, it can appear to imitate other things in nature. These two species of monkey orchids are called the Dracula simia (monkey faces) and Orchis simia (dancing men).
More on dracula simia:
Dracula simia, called also "Monkey Orchid" or "The Monkey-Like Dracula," is an epiphytic orchid in the genus Dracula. The arrangement of column, petals and lip strongly resembles a monkey's face. The plant blooms at any season with a single 5 cm successive flower. Flowers are fragrant with the scent of a ripe orange.
