  1. Looks like a foxglove plant and a jellyfish got together and made something new! Isn’t it nice how love can cross the divide?

    These are siphonophores. There are different types, and the second photo is of a Hula Skirt Siphonophore. The most famous type is the Portuguese Man o’ War (not pictured.) Read about them:

    “The extraordinary siphonophore is a cousin of the jellyfish and it lurks right down at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. What’s more it is actually an entire colony of zooids – clones that bud from a single egg.”
