If you like that, then how about this Naked Man orchid?

(Also "orchid" comes from the Greek word for testicles)

Well that one is obvious, as one of the great philosophers of our time once said;

They're putting chemicals in the water that turn the frigging ~~frogs~~ orchids gay!

I used this in a presentation once because it's hilarious.

According to the Pokedex, it's a Grass/flying type.

Given that mimikyu is ghost/fairy and mawhile is fairy, my guess is that a duck mimic pokemon based off this would probably be Grass/fairy

But the new study, led by Felipe Yamashita, a doctoral student at the University of Bonn, takes this a giant step further. It suggests that B. trifoliolata uses lens-like cells in its leaves, or “ocelli,” to detect the shape and other attributes of nearby plants. Then, it somehow processes that information and uses it to form new leaves in their image.

(I know OPs plant is not mimicking real birds like this, my plant is just neat and I wanted to share)
