Anyone know plants?

I bought some flowers for my wife for her birthday.
I bought them, cause they were different and cool looking.
But there was no tag on them saying what they were and I have no clue.
Anyone know what these are?

The dang thing looks like it has fur. Be careful, it might have fangs too.

I know! Like there was some sort of hairy spider in there.

LMAO What a coincidence! I actually almost described that thing as looking like a clump of tarantula butts.

LOL If those are not spiders than dry it out and see if it smokes as good as ometepe.
