Bat Face Cuphea

In my quest for strange and wonderful flowers, I found this unique one.  The Bat Face Cuphea is named for its resemblance to a bat.  The dark purple look like the face of a bat and the red looks like its ears.  This plant is supposed to be a magnet for hummingbirds.  And even though my hummingbird feeder continues to need refilling, I haven't seen any hummingbirds so far this year. Don't forget to click to enlarge the image for a better look.  It's kinda spooky how much it looks like a bat.
