Strangest plants ever: do you believe?

+


Take a few moments to watch this video, and tell me it that’s not a display of the weirdest flora specimens you’ve ever seen. All of these plants look like something from outer space, or something from a hollywood movie; one thing is certain: this is clearly not the kind of vegetation that we’d normally see on this planet (not even on the most obscure tropical rain forest, I suppose). So the big question here would be: do you believe this is for real? Personally, I think it’s actually a mixture of computer generated images over footage of real-world plants.

Of course, the possibility remains that it’s actually a bunch of exotic plants filmed in stop-motion or whatever, but I really don’t think there are plants out there with eyes and tongue. Maybe I’m wrong? If someone can prove it, I shall stand corrected. I did investigate the url which appears in the video, but it was an asian site, of which I could make little to no sense. So, can anyone offer any words of insight?
