Flowers are a beautiful gift that is bestowed by nature itself. On Earth, there are about 270 thousand species, and how many humanity has not yet discovered in the untouched corners of the planet. All flowers are very different, some bloom almost the whole year, while others only last a few hours, and it is considered great luck to see such a phenomenon. Therefore, I do not even want to make any rating, because absolutely all the flowers are beautiful, but nevertheless it is possible to single out some unique ones.
Cadupul
Unique in its beauty and features, a flower called cadupul. It is very rare in the forests of Sri Lanka. Locals call this plant the Queen of the Night. By the way, this name more reflects the features of the flower. The uniqueness of the cadupula is that its flower blooms exclusively in the middle of the night and blooms for only a few hours. For this reason, the Queen of the Night is never ripped off, it makes no sense.
People who are fortunate enough to see this unique phenomenon say that the flower has a very delicate and pleasant aroma. The petals of the bud are white and somewhat reminiscent of bird feathers, only tousled.
The locals have a myth that on the night when the kadupula opens, the demi-god Nagi falls to the ground, picks a flower and presents it to the Buddha.
The plant has a very short life, but how beautiful.
Canna
This is the only representative of its kind, however, includes about 50 species that have unique different colors. It grows in South and Central America, and because of its beauty, the flower becomes popular in Europe.
The flowers of the plant are asymmetric, large enough and can reach 8 centimeters in diameter. Color from yellow to red, bright. Only very rare species have a snow-white color.
Smybralka
This beautiful flower belongs to the family of tar and grows only next to Gibraltar. For some time this plant was considered irretrievably lost; since 1992 not a single botanist has been able to find it. However, after 2 years, climbers discovered the plant. Today, the flower is grown in botanical gardens in Gibraltar and in London.
Ghost orchid
Perhaps the most beautiful bouquets of flowers are obtained with orchids. There are a lot of plant species, but a ghost orchid is attributed to a unique and beautiful species. The roots of the plant resemble a web, a stem without leaves. The orchid is attached by roots to other plants, so it is very difficult to determine where its roots are. It is the lack of leaves that does not allow the plant to feed on its own, so the plant feeds on the expense of others on which it is attached. A flower grows in Florida and Cuba, as there are ideal conditions for it.
In botany, this flower is called the leafless orchid Dendrophilax - Dendrophylax lindenii. The flower was first discovered in 1844, the orchid was recently cultivated, now it can be seen in the botanical gardens of the world.
Chocolate Cosmea
Cosmos atrosanguineus is one of the most beautiful flowers of Mexico. Its name is due to the fact that the aroma of the plant is chocolate. The color of the bud is saturated red, up to a brown tint. It blooms at the end of the summer season, only in the evening.
Today this plant is recognized as endangered, chocolate cosmea plantations are protected by law.
Strelitzia
This is one of the most beautiful flowers on the planet, it is also called "Bird of Paradise." The buds of the plant resemble the plumage of birds from tropical forests. In vivo grows in South Africa. Now the plant is actively cultivated in other parts of the planet as a home.
The flower has large and bright petals. Outwardly, they are very reminiscent of a bird of paradise, which hid in the green leaves. Arrows leaves can reach 45 centimeters in length. The plant itself in height does not exceed 90 centimeters, it is very rare, if favorable conditions for growth, can be extended up to 1.5 meters.
Parrot beak
Not many manage to bring photos of beautiful flowers from the Canary Islands, namely a photograph of the spotted lotus (botanical name). The plant is protected by law, since the birds pollinating the flowers have disappeared, but there are no others who could replace the nectaria. Those plants that are growing now, obtained by artificial pollination. But the spotted lotus is quite successfully bred by gardeners, so it can be found on flower beds in warm countries and on the windowsills of residential buildings.
Petals of plant buds are very similar to the beak of a parrot. Flowering occurs in the spring, of course, if it is already sunny weather.
Rainbow Rose by Peter Van de Werken
Naturally, in no case can you ignore the rose. One of its species can be called the most beautiful flower with a beautiful color - it is a rainbow rose. The variety was obtained thanks to the efforts of Dutch flower masters and named after the creator of Peter Van de Werken.
This flower contains all the colors of the rainbow, there are even shades that are completely unusual for nature, it is purple and blue.
However, the flower, although not a consequence of the Photoshop program, is still not obtained naturally. The stem of an ordinary white rose is divided into several tubules, and water with dyes of different colors is let through them. The cost of one such flower in the region of 10-15 dollars / 600-900 rubles.
Great dicentra
This flower has many different names - "Slipper of the Mother of God", "Flower of the heart" and so on. And in every country there is a myth about this plant. The botanical name is Lamprocapnos spectabilis, part of the poppy family.
The natural habitat is the Far East, North Korea and China. It prefers edges of deciduous forests and highlands, therefore it is most often found at an altitude of about 2500 - 2800 meters above sea level.
The flowers are bilateral, have a heart shape. On one racemose inflorescence up to 15 buds. The external color of the bud is pink, sometimes white. Inside the petals are white, streaks of yellow or reddish color may be present. Stamens resemble petals, very wide.
Sakura
The official symbol of Japan is sakura. In the country there is a holiday dedicated to this flower, it begins on March 27, but every year the date is adjusted, depending on weather conditions and the beginning of flowering.
Sakura is a very fragile and short-lived flower. The name refers to a whole tree, from the genus finely sawed cherry (Prunus serrulata). Today, 16 plant species and about 400 species are known. These trees are not grown for fruit, but exclusively for aesthetic enjoyment. It is found not only in Japan, but also in Korea, China and even in the Himalayas.
A little-known fact that these flowers are the closest relatives of bird cherry. Sakura blooms no more than 7 days, and the color varies from white to bright pink. The flowering process is beginning to be monitored in advance, and the Japanese, who are not able to do it personally, are watching the development of events on television.
By the way, even in the Korean TV series “Boys are More Beautiful than Flowers” in many series they show sakura blossoms and other unique flowers, magnificent landscapes, because a huge amount of money was spent on creating the series. Sakura is praised in many poems and poems, especially by Japanese authors.
Plumeria
This tropical plant has very beautiful flowers, each of which has white petals (5 pieces). Inside each bud has a yellow color, very rarely other shades. The uniqueness of this plant is that the flowers exude a strong aroma at night, very similar to the smell of citrus fruits in a mixture with jasmine. The plant is completely unpretentious, it needs only the sun and a little moisture.
Plumeria belongs to the genus Kutrov family. It grows in vivo mainly in Thailand, the Caribbean and other Pacific islands, in Mexico and South America.
