I can't help looking at this flower and seeing some sort of weird, big mouth alien saying '... you don't mess with me or I devour you!!

They look awesome! A bit freaky looking especially if you're going to bed after watching a horror movie. In that case I'd lock this one in the closet for the night, for fear that the aliens would come devour me while I sleep!
