Can you guess how the starfish flower looks? Yes, it resembles a starfish, of course! But there are many other interesting facts about this pretty flower too. Let’s find out.
Fun facts about Starfish Flowers!
- The starfish flowers are found in South Africa. They grow best in a warm climate.
- The starfish flower is also called the carrion plant, giant toad plant and the starfish cactus. But it is not a cactus.
- The starfish flowers are of different colours, such as brown, purple or red. They are also usually covered with tiny hairs that are white, purple or red in colour.
Starfish Flower
- The starfish flower looks beautiful with its five petals. But it has a really bad smell.
- The smell attracts insects for pollination. Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from one flower to another. New seeds or flowers can grow on the plant after pollination.
- Many people keep a starfish plant in a particular room or outside their home to attract insects. This helps keep the insects away.
