Let's turn this into a game of sorts. Each of us provides a link or two to images of alien plant concepts that could inspire future miniature figure sculptors. I'll start: picture

I don't have any photos of them yet, but I've been taking the inside stem with the tuft (flower) from Garlic bulbs & painting them up in various tints of red & purple. They truly look alien

Sorry for no pic for this just a concept. I loved the idea from the Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual. It was that the plant life on a planet they fought on was not based on chlorophyll based photosynthesis but another process that made all the vegetation yellow. So all the Marine vehicles operating on that planet were painted canary yellow. Made me think how far a gamer would go. To paint their SF vehicles yellow, play on a yellow mat, populating the table with yellow plants. |

You've got to love real plants for variety…. A nice spiral

Armorcast used to make some neat stuff. I just had a look at their page and while I didnt find plants, they do have some really cool terrain pieces….I especially like the weird steam creations and the mushrooms. |

When I first read the title I thought HR Giger was getting in on the green revolution. |

Damn, got loads of close ups of some weird looking plants at Kew gardens, but are backed up somewhere and not online. I'll try and chuck a few up later on. |

Socorta Island is crazy cool Madagascar is also pretty good in this regard, and New Caledonia isn't anything to sneer at. Temperate rain forests are also good for "Earthly weird", I especially recall seeing some spectacular moss formations from South America. As for artists, Tim White has some nice science fantastic plantlife in his paintings:
