The Antirrhinum, commonly known as the snapdragon, has been a popular garden plant for many years. Also known as the dragon flower, its common name derives from the resemblance of the flower to a dragon's head.
When laterally squeezed the dragon will open and close it mouth. Yet once the flower has died, leaving behind the seed pod, something a little more macabre appears. The dragon - just a visual metaphor after all - appears to have a skull.

I had some fun (for a few minutes) with a snapdragon pod and a friend who believed in aliens. He was so delighted with the "strange skull" I found that I felt guilty and fessed up right away.
These are not snapdragon seed pods...
Skull plant seed pods Aquilegia (Columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers.
