A parasitic plant resembling an owl’s face has captured the top prize in a global nature photography contest. The plant, discovered in Thailand, glows an eerie emerald and is known as ‘Phisawong Ta Nok Hook,’ meaning ‘mysterious owl’s eye.’ It is a myco-heterotrophic species, meaning it obtains nutrients not through photosynthesis, but from fungi associated with tree roots. The plant’s peculiar shape and elusive nature have made it a captivating subject for photographers.
