Tabletop plant: "FoamHeadPlant" (Alien Vegetation 57)

The FoamHeadPlant is a delicious trap. The bowl shaped top contains a sweet, hallucinogenic foam. However, taking a sip isn't recommended. Everyone who is familiar with Ophiocordyceps unilateralis knows that this dessert isn't going to end well...

The plant spreads by infecting its victims with spores contained in the foam. Over the next few weeks, these start growing inside their hungry hosts, rendering them immobile eventually. By that time, the plant starts bursting buds which then develop into new plants.

I know, that this may sound a little terrifying. But if you know what you are doing, you can cut the plant open and search for certain eatable glands. In some areas these glands are actually sold roasted at street stalls...

There are four versions of this model: One version with and one without a hole on the bottom. (Which makes painting a lot easier as you can have a plant on a stick!) And there are high and low resolution versions for both. (As I was trying to figure out surface detail issues on my printer. ;-))

Like most of my other plants, this one should print just fine without support.

If you print this one, feel free to post a make - I'd really like to see how it works out for you.
