German Artist Heide Hatry Creates Flowers Out Of Meat (PICTURES)

Can You See What This Flower's Really Made Of?

In the mood for flowers, but find the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012 a little too mainstream?

Perhaps conceptual art book Not A Rose will float your petal boat.

At first glance, these images of flowers may appear traditional - but look harder and you’ll see they're a little different.

According to German artist Heide Hatry’s website, these are not innocent pretty flowers - but elegant, compelling, and yet grotesque sculptures created from the offal, sex organs, and other parts of animals.

On a mission to remind readers that flowers are really “the detached dead sex organs of living beings” Hatry's collection of exotic flowers is made entirely from meat.

"In Not a Rose you will experience contemporary art at its best: it is thinking through art," Hatry explains.
