I guess the Parrot Flower email has been making the rounds for years, but I must have missed it. Apparently people initially thought it was a hoax but no, it’s just extremely rare:
A balsam, Impatiens psittacina is a very rare impatiens species discovered and identified to botanical world in 1901 by botanist E.D. Hooker. The species grows in the wild in a small region of north Thailand (near Chiang Mai), Burma, and in the north-east Indian state of Manipur. It is called the parrot flower because its flower bears a resemblance to a parrot in flight when viewed from the side.
Quick quiz for Darwinians:
Did the flower evolve from the parrot?
Or did the parrot evolve from the flower?
Or is our God just an awesome designer?
