Cat Whitney’s thread of her favorite spooky plants includes some of the plant kingdom’s most horrifying denizens: Aristolochia Salvadorensis…“looks like a flayed skull, and reminds some of Darth Vader”; Hydnellum peckii…“The infamous bleeding tooth or Devil’s tooth fungus”; Antirrhinum seed pods…“the seedpods of some species resemble human skulls”; Tacca chantrieri…“the Black Bat Flower”; Monkey Orchids…“as I’m personally terrified of primates & apes, I’m putting them on here”;

There were all these incredible African costumes and hairstyles and so much intense diversity and vibrancy from around the continent. I don’t think people are aware of how rich the culture is and how diverse African culture is. And in Wakanda, it’s been inspired by the entire continent and different tribal aesthetics and cultures. We see all of that. So, hopefully it’s such a rich tapestry that it will wake people up to a different idea of what Africa is.
