Most expensive flowers and trees in the world
The Kadapul is a beautiful white flower that is priceless. Why? Because you cannot buy it and bring it home. It is a night-blooming cactus that blossoms only about once a year, and then withers by the morning.
The Saffron flower, a beautiful purple colour with orange saffron strands in the middle, is another expensive flower that isn’t easy to grow. A kilogram of Saffron costs over 3-5 lakhs as there are only 2-4 strands in a flower.
Sandalwood is another famous and expensive plant (and tree) that is sold for very high prices. The tree and its bark have a rich, sweet, and long-lasting fragrance, and the reason for its cost is the fact that Sandalwood takes decades to grow.
The Shenzhen-Nongke orchid is a special, man-made, and lab-made flower that is named after the scientists who grew it. It is said that this orchid took eight years to develop and bloom, and is the rarest and most expensive flower in the world.
The Juliet rose is known as the ‘£3 million rose’ (INR 32,89,13,400) because its breeder, David Austin, spent over 10 years and over £3 million growing this stunning flower.
Agarwood, also known as oud, is one of the most expensive and valuable woods in the world. It has a unique fragrance that comes up when the tree becomes infected with a certain type of mold.
The Gold of Kinabalu orchid is one of the rarest and most expensive orchids in the world. It has long, horizontal petals and bright yellow, purple, and red colours.
