The World’s Scariest Flowers... or what nightmares are made of.
Snapdragons
Snapdragons???!! What is so scary about a snapdragon? Well yes, the flowers themselves are quite lovely but it is when the flowers fade and the seed pods form, that’s when things get spooky. The dried seed pods resemble tiny skulls, tiny human skulls! Tiny human skulls on a stick!! In olden days it was believed that the snapdragon had supernatural powers; the power to ward off evil, be it a deception or curse. Supposedly, in Germany, it was hung above a baby’s bed to ward off evil spirits and even witches!
