Chinese Hat


I saw this flower when I was walking Lupikona; it has an interesting shape.


Its English name is the Chinese Hat Plant because it is shaped like a Chinese hat.


It is also known as the “Cup and Saucer Plant” because its circular shape looks like a saucer.

We call it Tengu-bana in Japanese which means “Long-nosed goblin flower”. What do you think it is shaped like?
