Best answer

Lurantis may be based on the orchid flower, along with the orchid mantis, reversing the mimetic relationship between those two organisms.

Orchid Mantis disguise themselves as Orchid Flowers as a hunting strategy. Lurantis, however, is a plant that disguises as a mantis for protection. It is likely Lurantis is inspired by a mix of both of these while reversing the mimetic relationship.
