This photo is guaranteed to send you quackers - its a beautiful orchid that looks like Daffy Duck. Taken in a rare moment of tranquillity in Tasmania, the orchid bears a striking resemblance to the Looney Tunes hero.Scottish photographer Bill Higham, 44, was on the sandy Australian heathland when he snapped the flower. So well-known for its similarities to the charismatic duck's yellow bill and black head, the orchid is known as the Flying Duck.
Daffy Duck appeared in cartoon series such as Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, where he usually has been depicted as the best friend and occasional arch-rival of Bugs Bunny.
Daffy emerged in the late 1930s to replace traditional everyman characters who were more popular earlier in the decade, such as Mickey Mouse and Popeye.
