Flying duck orchid..

Quack? Behold the flying duck orchid (Caleana major)! Found in eastern and southern Australia, this terrestrial orchid has a remarkable flower that looks like a flying duck! It can grow up to 50 cm (20 in) tall, and when it blooms, the petals come together to create a duck-like doppelganger. This unique orchid has a secret to its success and it involves sex. Weird, deceptive sex, to be exact.
