According to the message that travels with the images, they depict the &#8216;Naked Man&#8217; orchid. The orchid&#8217;s flowers are shaped like tiny human figures, complete with male appendages of varying sizes. Predictably, a number of self-proclaimed experts have declared the images to be &#8216;photoshopped&#8217; and claimed that there are no such flowers.<\/p>\n<p>However, the plants are in fact quite real. Orchis italica, more commonly called the Naked Man Orchid or the Italian Orchid, grows in various locations throughout the Mediterranean. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p> A write-up about the plant on First-Nature.com \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20140313150414\/http:\/\/www.first-nature.com\/flowers\/orchis_italica.php\">notes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The Naked Man Orchid (which on close inspection resembles just that!) can grow up to 50 cm in height and is widespread throughout the Mediterranean often forming dense colonies.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And, an article about the orchid on the Wild Nature Spain blog \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"A new location of the Orchis italica (naked man orchid).\" href=\"http:\/\/wildnaturespain.blogspot.com.au\/2013\/06\/orchis-italica-new-location-naked-man-orchid-spain.html\">explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The Orchis italica is known in English as the naked man orchid, due to the form of the individual flowers which resemble a naked male form. The spike is very densely packed with flowers of a purple-pink-whitish colour. The petals and sepals are all curved upwards forming a kind of helmet covering the column. The lip is long and has the shape of a man, with arms, legs and a third protuberance<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, it is only our human propensity to give deeper meaning to natural shapes and patterns that make these particular flowers so striking to us.
