Flowers are precious beauties that naturally occur in the world. The beauty they have is not only about their nature; they are also sources of admiration, expressions of celebrations, tokens of love and sources of health benefits. More so, they are used to express emotions we can’t express with words.

Many occasions are accompanied by flowers such as weddings, birthdays, funerals to name a few. Flowers can be classified by their price point: some are cheap and others expensive. There is an enormous variety of blooms at Pearsons florist to choose from. One could show their affection by gifting their loved ones with the costliest. Below is a list of the most expensive, eye-catching flowers to consider and admire.

Kadupul flower

The Kadapul flower is the most expensive blossom on the planet. It has no value because it’s priceless. This white-yellow flower from the cactus plant blooms rarely. Unfortunately, it opens at night, and the flower wilts before dawn. The short lifespan makes this stunning rare and priceless. The Kadapul flower is native to South America and southern Mexico. It’s impossible to handle or obtain. It dies immediately once touched, so it unfortunately can’t be purchased.

Juliet Rose

Roses are highly valued across the world. The general love for rose flowers stems from their diversity and beauty. But in the family of roses, Juliet Rose outperforms all of them. Unlike Kadupul flower, which is priceless, the Juliet Rose is valuable and can cost up to five million dollars. The flower took more than a decade to be created and thus among the most expensive. It has peach-coloured petals which look beautiful after it fully opens.

Being a rare flower, it sells up to $5,000 per stem. The Rothschild’s Orchid is notable for having horizontal petals. Despite being reintroduced through cultivated seedling, the flower remains elusive.

Shenzhen Nongke Orchid

One can find existing unique orchids in most florists, but the Shenzhen Nongke Orchid is the most captivating. It was developed in China by agricultural scientists. The name of this flower came from where it was developed which is Shenzhen Nongke University.
