Its common name is said to come from the unusual black coloring and shape of its flower, which resembles the head of a snake. Photo: Floriano Calcagnile 4. Fishbone orchid cactus (Cryptocereus anthonyanus/Selenicereus anthonyanus) ? Another unusual plant, the fishbone cactus has uniquely shaped foliage that resembles a fish skeleton. This easy-to-grow plant makes an exceptional indoor specimen. Other popular names include Ric Rac and Zigzag cactus.
