10 Nature’s Intriguing Creations That Evoke the Resemblance of a Vulva
You can discuss the feminine aspect of Mother Nature and its symbolic representation all you want, but sometimes you come across natural formations that take the concept of femininity quite literally.
Humans have a peculiar relationship with their genitalia, particularly the female reproductive organs referred to as the vulva and vagina in medical terms. Throughout history, men have openly celebrated their penises and have often been willing to display them, whether artistically or under the influence of alcohol. On the other hand, the vulva seems to make society uncomfortable. We won’t delve into unraveling this enigma here, but we will take a moment to acknowledge that nature has scattered organic reminders of the female genitalia all over the great outdoors, whether they are attached to humans or not.
You’ll never look at clams the same way again.
Lodoicea, commonly known as the sea coconut, coco de mer, or double coconut (depicted above), is a unique genus in the palm family. The only species, Lodoicea maldivica, can exclusively be found on the islands of Praslin and Curieuse in the Seychelles, situated in the Indian Ocean. The coco de mer tree is a rare and protected species.

The flower bud of the Spathodea, also known as the African Tulip Tree, has an ampule-like shape and contains water. Children often play with these buds, squirting the water. The open flowers are cup-shaped and can hold rain and dew, making them attractive to many bird species.
