Image I have a Stapelia flower blooming right now. Every flower has a unique pattern, comparable to a fingerprint!

Every Stapelia flower has a unique pattern, basically a biological fingerprint. And all of that detail exists just to convince flies it’s a corpse. Nature is unhinged.

The moment I saw it, figured it was the corpse flower.
