Am seeing this in the wild for the first time folks, and I have going through this place for years now and came across this for the first time. Havent got an idea what this plant of flower is. Kind of at ground level. Appreciate if some one can guide me. 

Also posted the head on view in the comment.

Balan: Not sure what this is. The center column on some of our passion flowers looks like this but of course you're missing the rest of the flower. Of course my first impression from the thumbnail was it looks like a snake head. Nice find and a fine capture.>=))>

Looks like sone kind of carnivorous plant. The image is well detailed, and I like how the background envelops it.

What's the size and habitat and location, Balan?  I think Phil might be on the right track, but there could be other possibilities.  A very cool flower regardless, and nicely photographed.
