The rarest flowers in the world - description and photo (Top-15)

On Earth, there are many plants, but the most rare flowers in the world deserve special attention. All of them are listed in the Red Book and belong to the endangered. Some grow in wildlife, and individual specimens can be seen only in botanical gardens, where they are studied and create special conditions for life.

Campion (Lichnis of Gibraltar) Silene Tomentosa

The habitat of this rare species is the rocks. The most acceptable climate for him is in the Gibraltar Strait area. For a long time, scientists believed that these rare flowers had disappeared forever, until in the 90s of the XX century they were again discovered by a group of climbers. Today the plant is grown under special conditions.

With rare specimens you can meet at the London Royal Botanical Garden, or at home, in Gibraltar, where it is also cultivated. His seeds are carefully guarded in a special jar.

Jade brush

This unique plant of the genus of tree lianas is extremely rare in the Philippine jungle. This is an incredible beauty plant, the clusters of which grow to three meters. The hue of the flower varies from turquoise to mint.

As trees are actively cut down in the tropics, many rare flowers are on the verge of extinction. The thing is that pollination occurs due to bats that are also uncomfortable in new natural conditions. At night, the flower glows, which attracts pollinators. Growing the plant in artificial conditions is not yet possible.

Saber of Venus (yellow-purple)

Very rarely the populations of these flowers can be found in different parts of Europe. The difficulty of cultivation lies in the fact that it is practically impossible to create artificial conditions for growth. Nutrition seeds are obtained not from the plant parent, but from a certain microorganism-fungus.

After a while, separate leaves appear and yellow "slippers" with purple mustaches open. Only the well-to-do people or those who are truly in love with a unique flower can buy an appendage.

Phantom Orchid

The plant was considered extinct for a long time, but more recently, scientists discovered it again. This type of orchid has practically no leaves, and food is due to symbiosis with the fungal microorganism living on its roots. The plant itself can be underground for about 3 years, continuing its existence, and only then reveals to the world wonderful flowers.

Giant Titan Arum from Sumatra

Incredible in its beauty and size, the flower grows to 2 meters.

Sometimes, to see it, you have to climb the stairs. The rarest flowers of this plant appear 1 time in 25-40 years. A peculiarity of the plant is its unpleasant odor, which is manifested exclusively during flowering. Pollinators are beetles and flies, which are attracted by the smell of spoiled (decomposing) meat. A flower receives food from a rare creeper.

Camellia red

The rarest flowers in the world are the group to which this plant belongs, which exists in duplicate in the botanical gardens of London and New Zealand. Homeland is China. Flowers are very similar to roses of scarlet color. There is an assumption that the plant can grow in private gardens.

Kadupullus

The peculiarity is that flowering occurs extremely rarely. Not everyone who has visited Sri Lanka (the homeland of the caducullus) has a lucky chance to admire it, because the flower dissolves only at midnight and quickly dies.

Buddhists have a belief that kadupullus is a gift from the mythical creatures to the Buddha.

Parrot Bug (Lotus Bertelotii)

Studying the photos of the rarest flowers, one involuntarily draws attention to a bright flower in the form of a beak of a bird. The native land of the plant are the Canary Islands, but in the wild it can not be found. Cultivate the flower on private farms, it can also be purchased as a home plant.

Kokai Cookei, or Kokio Flower

Beautiful and rare flowers of the world Need special Care and attention. Enormous efforts were made by scientists to save the tree with unique flowers. His seedlings did not take root, and after the fire only one branch survived, which was planted in other trees.

The best conditions for the cultivation of coca are created in Hawaii, where even now you can admire a unique plant. In height, trees often exceed 10 meters.

Predator Drosera Capensis (Cape Rosyanka)

Droplets of liquid serve simultaneously and glue, to which the insect sticks tightly, and the digestive enzyme.

Capsicum can also grow in the home, but it requires an increased amount of moisture, a little light and a certain temperature, not above 12 ° C. Create such conditions, and on your windowsill there will be a real "destroyer" of mosquitoes, midges, ants.

The Flower of Franklin

In a certain period the plant produces a flower resembling a tea rose, only painted white. For the first time, trees were found in Georgia, in the valley where the Alatamaha River flows. It is believed that the plant survived thanks to inveterate gardeners, who for many years stubbornly cultivated and bred it.

Cosmos chocolate

In the group of rare flowers Includes this species, which was grown artificially. In the wild, this flower does not occur. It grows from seeds that are very expensive.

The plant will become a real decoration of the house or office, because it comes from an amazing chocolate-vanilla fragrance. Flowers are painted in different shades - from burgundy and red to brown.

Yutan Poluo

Not all rare flowers need to create certain conditions. Some are quite unpretentious, but they can be found in the most unexpected places. For example, the Yutan Poluo plant was first found inside a steel pipe during cleaning.

At the same time, the flower can be seen on Buddha statues covered in gold. The plant also feels comfortable here.

Nepentes, or Flower-pitcher

A capricious plant that belongs to the genus of shrubby and semi-shrubby lianas. It grows in areas from Sumatra to Borneo. Many subspecies are listed in the Red Book, as the plant is demanding of environmental conditions.

The flower refers to predators that feed on insects. It is interesting that many species develop simultaneously 2 types of "jugs": the top catches a flying mosquito, the bottom eats creeping bugs. Inside the containers are filled with a liquid in which insects are drowned and digested.

Sunflower Schweinitzii

The rare plant that occurs in limited quantities in the United States. After a careful investigation, about 85 populations were recorded, in each of which no more than 45 units grow.

To save these plants is a difficult task that scientists and botanists of the whole world will have to solve!
