Flowers are some of nature's most wonderful creations - they usually look amazing, most of them emit very pleasing scents, and best of all, they're where honey comes from! We use them for decoration, as romantic gestures and to signify freedom and love (the 60's "Flower Children"). Not all flowers are the same, some have very unique patterns, some bloom very rarely and some don't even look like flowers at all. Join me on a trip to discover the strangest and prettiest flowers from around the world.

Chinese lantern (Physalis alkekengi) found in Southern Europe and throught the east across Asia, the Chinese lantern got its name from the bright orange cover of the fruit which resembles a paper lantern. The fruit itself has antibacterial properties and possible beneficial properties for people suffering from chronic liver disease.

Waxplant (Hoya) is a large family of evergreen creepers native to Southeast Asia and Australia. They gained the name "Waxplant" thanks to their flowers. The flowers always grow in bunches (called spurs), have five thick triangular petals that look as though they were carved out of wax. Most waxplants have an appealing scent and abundant nectar.
