Funnel flower
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The funnel flower, also known as the funnel plant, was a plant native to the desert world of Tatooine that had a cone of large petals that grew from a long, J-shaped stem. The stem itself grew within a crack or crevice in the rocks.
The plant pulled hot air in through the upper part of the stem, and then moved it down into the part hidden in the crevice. There, moisture condensed out of the air, and was hoarded by the plant in the crook of the stem.
These plants grew around the rim of the Lars homestead's main courtyard. As of 0 BBY, they had not yet blossomed.
