The Dragon’s Skull: The Macabre Appearance of Snapdragon Seed Pods
http://www.kuriositas.com/2013/07/the-dragons-skull-macabre-appearance-of.htmlThe Antirrhinum (right), commonly known as the snapdragon has been a popular garden plant for many years. Also known as the dragon flower, its common name derives from the resemblance of the flower to a dragon’s head.
When laterally squeezed the dragon will open and close it mouth: ask any grandparent whose flowers have been decimated by over keen but clumsy grandchildren. Yet once the flower has died, leaving behind the seed pod, something a little more macabre appears. The dragon – just a visual metaphor after all – appears to have a skull.

And once again, DU software eats the pic links.
