While little is know of the rare and dangerous palinflower, this brief photodocument details the developmental phases of this rare and deadly flora known to wipe out whole cultures and to destroy political parties
The Palinflower starts off innocently enough, deceptive in its down to earth simplicity.
When it first blossoms, the deadly bloom may trick the ignorant admirer who fails to properly vet this flower's background
As the bloom reaches maturity, it's unique pistil reminds the wary horticulturalist, wise to the danger of the Palinflower that it is best to stay away.
Once the "wasilla house pistil shows it self, within short order, the flower shows it's thorny, prickly nature that bites those who embrace it too tightly.
As the flower withers, Palinflowers' pods appear. These look prickly and nasty,but the worst is yet to come.
Finally, the pods, as they age, dry up and burst, revealing the true seeds the deceived admirers have embraced and, too late, wedded themselves to.
When palinflowers die, another flower grows in its place, one that we know even less about. So far, it has not been found to be toxic.
the white flowers used for this little bit of satire are Datura, and they ARE known to be, if eaten, hallucinogenic in the worst way, never producing good trips, and if too much is eaten, known to be deadly. No joke.
