Bats
If you're fond of these winged nocturnal creatures, you'll love the bat plant (Tacca chantrieri), a tropical plant from Southeast Asia with a sinister inflorescence and black fruits that hang in clusters like roosting bats. If you don’t have the right place for growing this rather large tropical, try bat-faced cuphea (Cuphea llavea), an annual from Mexico whose red and dark-purple flowers bear an amazing likeness to a bat when viewed head-on.
