Dadada dadada dadadada dadada♬ Dadada dadada dadadada dadada♬ Guess what song I'm singing? Godzilla's theme!! These purple flowers look like Godzilla monsters or ammonite fossils, don't they?

They are Cerinthe majors or honeyworts, and these ammonite fossil like parts are their flowers and bracts. I said monstrous, but when looked closely, they are "kimokawa" or cugly! The color is so deep and beautiful, and the shape unique.
I didn't know that English had the word "cugly," meaning cute and ugly, the same as "kimokawa" in Japanese. This is the second time that I have seen cugly plants after big quaking grass, a plant looking like a bug.
Cerinthe major is also called "blue shrimp plant" and "pride of Gibraltar," suggesting that its flower shape and color inspire people to think what name best describes such a unique plant.
It has a Japanese name, too, "yellow flower lapis lazuli plant," which does describe the color, but not the shape, so personally I prefer "blue shrimp plant."

セリンセマヨールです。アンモナイトの化石に見えませんか！ キモカワです。ちなみにキモカワは英語で「cugly」と言うそうです。「cute」と「ugly」の合体です。ちなみにキモカワ植物といえば小判草（big quaking grass）もそうでした。
セリンセマヨールは色がとっても素敵ですね。ただ一つ問題が。名前が多すぎるんです｡｡｡

とも呼ばれます。個人的には「blue shrimp plant（青エビ草）」が一番好きかな。色も形もちゃんと表しています😜
