It's hard to believe that such a thing exists. Awesome

Every day we see flowers that surround us everywhere - daisies, roses, violets, tulips, chrysanthemums, dandelions, and their beauty has become familiar to us and even somewhat banal.

But in different corners of the planet, truly amazing and unusual in fitness and appearance flowers grow, and every time, looking at this natural miracle, one is amazed at the beauty of the plant world.

Let's get acquainted with the most unusual colors of our planet:

Tricyrtis short-haired (Tricyrtis hirta).

This perennial herb, reaching a height of 40-80 cm, has white flowers with numerous purple spots.

It is the largest tropical flower, but despite its natural beauty, it is a very foul-smelling specimen of flora. The scent of decaying flesh emanates from the inflorescence. If we translate the name of the flower from Greek, then it means "shapeless phallus."

This giant flower has one of the largest inflorescences in the world, reaching a width of one and a half meters, and a height of 2.5 m. Amorphophallus titanic blooms for only two days. Previously, it grew in Indonesia, on the island of Sumatra, but then foreigners exterminated the flower.

Sexy Orchid Drakaea glyptodon.

The title of "unusual" orchid was won by the "sexual" orchid - the inflorescence of the flower resembles the body of a wasp of a certain species. In addition, the orchid releases pheromones similar to that of the female wasp.

Interestingly, the sexual orchid begins to bloom during the breeding season of the wasps, and then the males flock to the flowers and try to mate with them. This is how wasps transfer pollen from one plant to another. Sexual orchid grows in Australia.

Orchid Kalania (Caleana major).

In appearance, this amazing flower resembles a flying duck, and this is what the people call it. She inherited such an appearance from nature to attract insects, which are called sawflies.

For them, the upper part of the flower resembles a female, and, flying from flower to flower, pollination takes place. The Kalania orchid has a miniature size: the width of the flower is 2 cm, and the height is only 50 cm. The orchid grows in South and Eastern Australia under eucalyptus trees, and 2-4 flowers flaunt on the stem.

African Hydnora (Hydnora africana).

In most cases, it lives underground, but when the required amount of precipitation falls in the desert, the African Hydnora appears on the surface and grows thin.

Going to Mount Victoria, scientists discovered huge-sized flowers, the inflorescences of which resembled volumetric jugs.

It turned out that these unusual flowers are real predators that feed on rodents. It still remains a mystery how these flowers were able to survive to this day. This phenomenon is being studied today in MacPherson's laboratory. How do you think, custom bouquets of these flowers would be in high demand?

Monkey orchis (Orchis simia).

This beautiful flower grows in shrubs and forests, where there is a lot of light, in forest glades of the lower (sometimes middle) mountain belt up to an altitude of 1500 m above sea level.

Evergreen liana from the Grimaceae family, waxy ivy that grows naturally in India, South China, Australia.

The Hoya genus, numbering 200 species, was named after the English gardener Thomas Hoya. Lianas in nature creep on rocky slopes, and in forests grow on tree trunks.

Achene of Snapdragon (Antirrhinum).

This flower grows in North America, and in Russia it can often be found in gardens, where beautiful flower beds are created with its help. 22 types of flowers are found in the wild - these are ears of zygomorphic flowers, painted with bright colors of blue, yellow, purple shades.

The inflorescences resemble a lion's mouth or even a skull. The appearance of the Snapdragon flower, which has already faded, looks rather intimidating and resembles a skull.

Dove Orchid (Peristeria Elata).

This perennial plant with a developed vertical rhizome is a species of monocotyledonous flowering plants of the Dioskorein family.

The inflorescences and young leaves are still used to make curries, and the rhizome is used in Thai medicine.

Kadupul.

This snow-white, the rarest flower on the planet, growing on the islands of Sri Lanka, resembles a water lily in appearance. The life of this flower is short - it blooms at midnight, and fades by dawn.

According to an ancient legend, during the short flowering period of the kadupula, a mythical snake-like demigod creature named Nagi descends to the ground. He picks a flower to present it on the holy mountain of Sri Pada to the Buddha himself.

The most beautiful flowers in the world make up an impressive list, which includes specimens from all over the world. Some varieties are not quite flowers in the usual sense and have dimensions comparable to the height of a small tree. Some delight the eye for a whole season, while others exist for a matter of hours. Among them there are those that leave an indelible impression forever. Many gardeners around the world dream of growing them on their plots, but this is not always possible.

Rafflesia bloom no more than 4 days and attract flies with their "aroma"

Rafflesia grows in rainforest and is not suitable for domestic breeding. Numerous attempts to obtain it in a greenhouse almost always ended in failure.

During flowering, the ear of amorphophallus heats up to 40 ° C

Another name is "devilish language". Once it could easily be found in the sultry forests of Indonesia, today it is a real rarity. The plant can be up to 2.5 m in height and weighing more than 50 kg. This beauty is fragrant with the "aroma" of rotten fish, which, together with its gigantic size, makes it impossible to grow amorphophallus in a summer cottage. And such flowers do not grow in the climatic conditions of the Russian Federation, therefore, to see the "devilish language", you have to go, for example, to Sumatra.

The life span of the titanic amorphophallus is 40 years, but it blooms during this time only 3 or 4 times.

Due to its African origin, gazania is particularly drought tolerant

The South African "treasure flower" strikes the imagination with its graphic design on the petals. Its second name is "flower of the sun", it explains that the beauty of the plant can be fully appreciated only at bright noon. At other times, the inflorescences are closed.

Gazania is successfully bred in Russian latitudes. This is not difficult if you first grow seedlings from seeds. When choosing a place for gazania in a flower garden, you should pay attention to an open sunny area with light soil.

Rainbow roses are a popular modern "antidepressant" in the world of flowers

This is the result of the work of professional flower growers, the meaning of which is in the special technology of watering roses. It is important to be able to mix paints correctly. To obtain a flower of rare beauty, it is required to make several cuts on the stem in the form of separate channels. For each of them, the initially snow-white rose will "drink" water of a certain color. It's not as simple as it might seem at first glance, but the results are worth it.

By the way, the same method can be used to grow other flowers, in particular tulips, chrysanthemums, orchids and hydrangeas.

Many breeders are developing new varieties of this type of orchid with different petal colors, but the most common is considered to be white.

In the Far East, in Primorye and Priamurye, a miracle flower grows, reminiscent of the delicate feathers of a white bird. It is also found on the Japanese islands. "White heron" is popular in the Land of the Rising Sun, it is actively bred, but in its natural environment the plant is less and less common.

It is believed that an exotic orchid is easy to grow at home, in a flower pot. The main thing is to provide it with high soil moisture during the active period, and during the dormant season, make sure that the soil does not dry out, adding water on time. However, experts say that only an experienced florist can do this rare beauty.

The unusual look of the proteas is given not by the flowers themselves, but by their leafy envelopes, painted in yellow, pink, blue-pink colors.

This plant is considered one of the most beautiful on Earth among those that are able to bloom. His homeland is the African continent. An amazing feature of the exotic flower is that it contains an incredible amount of nectar, for which the protea was nicknamed "a barrel of honey".

The flower lends itself to cultivation and cultivation in the conditions of Russia. In mild climates, the plant can become a garden perennial, and in more severe climates it will decorate a greenhouse or at least a windowsill. To do this, it is important to provide warmth, an abundance of light and an influx of fresh air.

Protea is the most popular and beloved plant in South Africa. One of its species - the royal protea - is considered a symbol of South Africa.

Floral designers and bouquets are happy to use strelitzia in their compositions, as it gives a unique flavor and sophistication

The second name is "bird of paradise". In the homeland of the plant, in South Africa, it is called a crane.

In Russia, strelitzia is bred in large pots. If you plant this exotic in the ground in the summer, it will become a decoration of your personal plot. On the home windowsill, the "bird of paradise" also feels great and does not require special care. True, flower growers should remember that it grows slowly. Pet owners should be aware that the leaves and flowers of the bird of paradise are highly poisonous.

In its homeland, lycoris has more than 20 different subspecies, while only six have been imported to Russia.

A perennial plant of the bulbous family attracts attention with its bright color. Interesting fact: the flower never "meets" the leaves, as it grows on a separate stem. The birthplace of lycoris is Japan and China, where the plant is considered the "flower of the dead" and for this reason is never planted near the house.

Russians, alien to prejudice, use it as a garden and indoor decoration. An oriental guest requires a temperature not higher than 20 ° C, a drained sandy soil, a special irrigation and lighting regime.

Some of the varieties of passionflower can be recognized by the names of the edible fruits - granadilla and passionfruit.

She's a passionflower and a cavalry star. It grows in South America, Asia, Australia and has tasty fruits, as well as bright flowers 10 cm in diameter. This is a liana that is beautiful and unpretentious. Thanks to these qualities, she is happily bred at home. It is important to remember that the germination of passionflower seeds depends on how long ago they were removed from the fruit. Better to plant by reaching just before planting. In order for the plant to delight in the future with both flowers and berries, proper pruning is required.

In Japan, this flower is called "Beauty of the Moon"

This fabulous flower grows on the islands of Sri Lanka, where it is considered sacred. Seeing the virgin white buds of a cadupula is a great success, because flowering is rare and lasts only two days, after which the plant regains its former appearance.

This flower has no price. It is impossible to pick it off without damaging the petals. And for those who dream of having such a treasure, an analogue is recommended - the epiphyllum. It is easy to grow, grows quickly and blooms in early summer.

Kadupul is the most expensive flower in the world - even though it has never been sold.

There have already been many articles about flowers on LifeGlobe, today we will try to collect in one place the most beautiful flowers in the world. Of course, it is impossible to unequivocally name some plants more beautiful than others, so we tried to abstract from the number of possible factors for assessment and focused on the external beauty and variety of flowers, both recognizable all over the world and little-known ones. We bring to your attention the resulting selection of 10 most amazing, in our opinion, types of flowers. Meet them, discuss and offer your options for colors that can compete in beauty with the ten below!

So, on the 10th place settled the vast genus of orchids Dendrobium, founded in 1799 by Olaf Schwartz and currently numbering more than 1200 species.


These orchids are native to much of South, East and Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Borneo, Australia, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and New Zealand.



The genus name comes from the Greek words dendron ("tree") and bios ("life"), and is generally translated as "living in trees", or, in fact, "epiphyte".



The 9th line of the list "The most beautiful flowers in the world" is occupied by Lantana - a separate genus of the Verbena family, numbering about 150 species.



These amazing flowers are native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa, but introduced species of lanthanum are also found in other parts of the world, mainly in the Australian-Pacific region.



This small genus of verbena includes herbaceous plants and shrubs, reaching 0.5-2 meters in height.


On the 8th place were the familiar to many Hyacinths - a small genus of flowers in the Asparagus family.



Researchers for a long time could not decide which genus to classify hyacinths - at one time they even "were" part of the Liliaceae family.



Hyacinths are native to the eastern Mediterranean (from southern Turkey to northern Israel) and the northeastern regions of Iran and Turkmenistan.


The 7th place in beauty is occupied by Dicentra - a small (about 20 species) genus of herbaceous plants from the Dymyankovye family, famous for its original flowers in the form of hearts.


For their appearance, they are often called bleeding hearts.


The name itself consists of the Greek words dis "twice" and k? Ntron "spurs").


Most of the dicenter grows in East Asia and North America.


Each flower consists of two tiny sepals and four bisymmetric petals: the two outer petals are usually curved outward and have a marsupial shape at the base, while the inner petals are absolutely straight.


Rudbeckia, a genus of restless plants of the Astrov family, numbering about 40 species, settled on the 6th line.



Some of these species are cultivated in Europe and Africa as ornamental and often run wild, but the original Rudbeckia was discovered in North America by the first settlers who gave these interesting black and yellow flowers the poetic name "Black Eyed Suzanne".


The Germans have a different name - "Sun Hat".


The very name Rudbeckia was given to a new plant species by Karl Linnaeus - in honor of the famous Swedish botanists, father and son of the Rudbeks.


The 5th place went to Callam, which is quite popular among us flowers of the Aronnikovy family.



This genus is the only member of the subfamily Calloideae and includes only one species - the marsh calla (or marsh calla).



As the name suggests, these flowers live in swampy areas on the shores of marshy reservoirs and rivers of temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere: in Central, Eastern and Northern Europe (in the east of France and Norway), North Asia and North America (Alaska, Canada, northeastern United States).


The 4th line in the ranking "The most beautiful flowers in the world" is occupied by Hortensia, whose genus includes about 80 species of plants growing mainly in South and East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas and Indonesia), as well as in the North and South America. Most of the hydrangea species are found in East Asia, especially China, Japan, and Korea.


Usually these are shrubs with a height of 1 to 3 meters, but some liana-like species can reach 30 meters in length, "climbing" trees.


Hydrangeas are both deciduous and evergreen, but among the widely cultivated species, all plants are deciduous.

These interesting flowers were named after Princess Hortense, sister of Holy Roman Prince Carl-Heinrich of Nassau-Siegen.


In European scientific circles, these flowers were later given the name Hydrangea, which is translated from the ancient Greek language as "a vessel with water".


The top three is closed by the "Paradise Flower" Strelitzia, which is a genus of four species of perennial plants found only in South Africa.



The genus is named after the Queen of Great Britain Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (Strelitz is the duchy where the future queen was born).



For its amazing appearance, the Strelitzia flower was unofficially called the Bird of Paradise.


In second place is the tender Canna - the only genus of plants in the Canna family, with about 50 varieties, growing mostly in Central and South America, but due to their starchy rhizomes, these plants are also specially cultivated in many countries of Latin America, as well as in India, Indonesia, Australia and even the Hawaiian Islands.


All types of cannes are very different from each other in color and shape, which is why sometimes it is hard to believe that these are all subspecies of the same flower.




Well, we finally got to the top line of the list "The most beautiful flowers in the world." Perhaps many will want to challenge our decision, but we gave the first place to the tiny flowers of Sakura or Japanese Cherry.


Sakura is a separate species of ornamental trees of the Rosaceae family, extremely popular in Japan and one of the most famous symbols of this developed country and its rich centuries-old culture.


Sakura blossoms occur in spring and lasts only a week - for this meager period of time, the whole of Japan is transformed, sheltered by innumerable small petals, whose color varies from pale white to bright pink.


An integral part of Japanese culture, Hanami (the Japanese tradition of flower viewing) is such a popular event that a few months before the supposed sakura bloom, predictions with the dates of flowering throughout the country begin to be shown on television.


It is not surprising that any Japanese city is adorned with Sakura trees, everywhere you can find extensive parks with long alleys of cherry trees, the gentle flowering of which makes the surrounding landscape calm and peaceful.
