Looking for some wild and strange plants? These succulents that look like a vagina will definitely raise many eyebrows!
Curious about succulents that look like vaginas? You’re not alone! We’ve seen plants and animals evolve unusual looks to scare predators or lure pollinators. But these succulents take things to another level. Some look so human, and you’ve probably seen some of them before, just not quite like this!
Succulents That Look Like Vagina
1. Living Stones
Botanical Name: Lithops
Starting with an adorable succulent that you will often find in the collections of most succulent enthusiasts, Lithops are small and quite interesting. It features a split or fissure down the surface that often intrigues most people. Many even call them “vagina rocks.”
The fused leaves mimic the labia, with their fleshy, skin-like texture enhancing the illusion. Most of the year, they hide beneath the soil, only coming up during growth.
2. Living Rock Cactus
Botanical Name: Ariocarpus fissuratus
This slow-growing Living Rock cactus blends into the rocky landscapes of northern Mexico and Texas thanks to its flat, warty surface. But that’s not why people do a double take.
Its bumpy tubercles and the flower’s prominent stigma resemble vaginal features, including a clitoris-like shape. Blooms emerge from the center, showing off soft pink, yellow, or white shades.
3. Starfish Cactus
Botanical Name: Orbea variegata
Many people refer to this cactus simply as the Starfish plant. But despite the name, did you know that this plant is actually a succulent? Plus, at first glance, the blooms might remind you of a starfish with its bright color and even more prominent variegations.
The flower’s central disc and color pattern are why many link it with the vagina. Add in its strong rotten smell (used to attract flies), and this plant really makes a scene.
4. Carrion Flower
Botanical Name: Stapelia gigantea
Easily mistaken for the Starfish Cactus, this one’s in a league of its own. Its massive, hairy blooms and powerful stench make it hard to ignore.
And yes—those big, fleshy petals have earned this plant comparisons to the vagina. If size matters, this one takes the crown—its blooms can stretch up to 12 inches wide.
5. Split Rock
Botanical Name: Pleiospilos nelii
If any succulent looks like an exact vagina, it is the Split Rock! As the name suggests, the pebble-like “leaves” of this plant are split exactly in the middle, giving it the shape of the labia.
Plus, when it starts growing new leaves from the split in the middle, they begin as a “clitoris-like” protrusion that matches the vagina description even more.
Note: Don’t confuse it with Lithops, though—while similar, they’re different plants with their own quirks.
6. Baby Toes
Botanical Name: Fenestraria rhopalophylla
They may sound innocent, but Baby Toes can surprise you. These stubby succulents grow upright, with a translucent “window” at the tip.
As they mature, some split down the center, subtly resembling a vulva. Well, their charm is all in the detail—quiet, curious, and oddly satisfying.
7. Sand Rose
Botanical Name: Anacampseros rufescens
The Sand Rose flashes deep reds and purples in sunlight. The plump, spiral-shaped leaves stack in a layered rosette, like petals—or lips.
Additionally, its velvety texture and gentle curves often remind people of the vulva. And at night, it folds in slightly—like a bashful bloom calling it a day.
8. Windowpane Plant
Botanical Name: Haworthia turgida
Haworthia turgida is a compact succulent that grows in tight, star-like rosettes with transparent tips—tiny “windows” that let in light.
As it matures, its plump, overlapping leaves often create a subtle slit at the center. It’s a quiet nod to the female form—easy to miss, but once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
So, these were the succulents that most look like a vagina, either in their general appearance or when they bloom. Do you know any other succulents with such an interesting appearance? Drop it in the comments—we’re all ears (and eyes)!
