A Super Cool Plant With Flowers That Look Like Humming Birds!

avatar

Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas where we definitely don't have these plants. They're only found in Northern Australia, I guess they thrive in the sand dunes there.

Check them out, the scientific name of this plant is Crotalaria Cunninghamii but is commonly called the Green Flowerbird or Regal Flowerbird:

Tiny little things they are and I'm the last person in the world who would normally use the word "cute," but man these things are cute! lol.

One article I read had a psychiatrist saying the flowers and leaves aren't really shaped like Humming Birds, it's just our mind tricking us into seeing Humming Birds because they remind us of them.

Yeah right. These dang flowers are shaped like Humming Birds! No trickery to it. Do you guys agree?

Of course not all of them are shaped exactly like Humming Birds.

But enough of them sure are to make them amazing plants.

Here's another tiny little cute one!

I wonder if they grow in North Texas? Probably not, I don't think our soil is sandy enough here. I think these guys are remarkable. Another amazing wonder from Australia!

That is incredible! Wow. I wonder if it's to stop hummingbirds from drinking/eating. The fly by and think birds are all over it and there is no more room.

Howdy squirrelbait! I'm glad you liked those, I'm amazed at the perfect proportions of most of those leaves looking exactly like the birds. Good thinking of why that is, I haven't found any explanation like that but it sure is logical!

Howdy again Butterfly! I'm so glad you like this plant, it's totally amazing ain't it? You might have to put it in a pot of sandy soil for it to grow there since it grows on the sand dunes.
