Rare Flowers of the World

I realized that I’m always talking about animals, which is because that’s an area of interest for me. Yet, nature also has plenty of flowers. I’m going to try to do a few scattered about if I can think of fun topics with them. Today, I got curious and looked up some of the rarest flowers of the world. Stopped myself after nine, so enjoy:

Black Bat Flower- Self-pollination and very delicate

Chocolate Cosmos- Believed to be extinct, but then rediscovered

Corpse Flower- smells like rotting flesh and blooms randomly every 3-8 years

Fire Lily- rare due to modern agricultural practices

Franklin Tree Flower- Extinct in the wild, but cultivated for lawn ornamentation

Ghost Orchid- Critically endangered due to poaching, climate change, and habitat destruction

Middlemist’s Red Camellia- WORLD’S RAREST FLOWER WITH ONLY TWO DOCUMENTED EXAMPLES

Night-Blooming Cereus- Hard to find and slow growth

Youtan Poluo- Said to bloom only once every 3,000 years
