3. Shenzhen Nongke Orchids
If you really love flowers, buying a piece of it is worth your
collection with its exorbitant price of $200,000. It may seem the usual
type of orchid, but this type was sold in one of the auctions done in
China and a group of scientists made an experiment in growing this
orchid for 8 years that made it pricey and costly because of the amount
of time allotted before it has finally blossomed. It was bought by an
anonymous buyer in 2005 despite of its very staggering amount.

2. Juliet Rose
It took 15 years for the breeder, David Austin, to grow this flower, and
it’s really a unique breed that you can’t find anywhere. No wonder why
it’s priced at $5.8 million in 2006 during the Chelsea Flower Show,
where it was introduced and shown. The price tag of it is equivalent to
the number of years put forth by the breeder, and not just because of
its exclusivity and solitary description.

1. Kadapul Flower
It is a priceless flower found on this list since the scent of it is
really unusual and calming. In fact, there is no specific amount for
this kind of specie, having a short life span, only seen growing in Sri
Lanka. Unlike other flowers that you can easily purchase in most of the
flower farms and shops, this one only lasts for few hours and it only
blossoms during night time where you could smell its inviting fragrance.
Before twilight begins, you’ll observe that it begins to wilt away. You
don’t see it growing anywhere, but it is usually found in the darkest
and most hidden of places. |
