Pretty Maids All in a Row

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells, And pretty maids all in a row.

Flowers have an amazing range of appearances. The one called Calceolaria uniflora is also called the flower-doll plant, and you can see why. This plant is native to South America, and thrives in high altitudes with cooler temperatures. See more stunning examples of the flower-doll plant at Cantinho with an English translation here.   -via Nag on the Lake
