Face in a Flower


DSCN1538, originally uploaded by wooac.

This flower was photographed at the Presidio Native Plant Nursery, way in the back where the plants are probably not native. So the question is why would a flower mimic a face or do we just see a face in this? I suspect the flower is really mimicking a face, not to attract bees but to dissuade potential eaters, like birds, to stay away.
