The Saffron Crocus


The yellow central part of this beautiful flower eventually becomes a spice, making it so exorbitant. The vibrant red styles and stigma emerging from the flower center are dried to be sold as a rare spice. Over 80,000 saffron flowers produce 500g of the spice, which can cost up to $1200 -$1500.

The delicate lilac flowers bloom best if planted in well-drained and sun-exposed soil. Swampy and damp areas can be an annihilation for this delicacy.

Tulips


The long narrow stems of tulips can cost an arm and a leg. During the 17 century, the plant was a symbol of status for the elites. Tulips are native to southern Europe but are now available around the world, but of course, at very high prices. The striped tulips cost much more than the ones with a solid color. The spring-blooming largetulip bulbs have layers of petals available in a variety of different colors and shades. No matter how much the times change, the beauty and significance of the tulip flower will never fade away.

Lily of the Valley


The droopingwhite bell-shaped pendants of lily are alternately arranged on narrow stems and bloom only for two weeks, once a year in early springs, and keep the admirers waiting for the rest. The exquisite flower can cost up to $50 a bundle. Due to its short lifespan, the availability of this flower is unreliable.

lisianthus


The cool tones of these flowers make them distinctive and attractive to admirers. Lisianthus flower has an elegant appearance with multiple layers of petals, sometimes a single flower in two different tones. A bouquet of these graceful stems can absolutely be the finest choice for a present.

Juliet Rose


The heavenly abundant rose is deemed as the most beautiful flower. It can be distinguished because of the voluminous petals filling the cup. Traditionally peach in color, it can also be found in light shades of pink, purple, and warm apricot.

Rotchschild's Orchid


Conventionally known as the Gold of Kinabalu orchid or the Rotchschild orchid,it is considered to be a rare and endangered species, thus very expensive. Notable for its unique appearance and hues, the exotic orchids are found in the rainforests of Mount Kinabalu and are not common in the markets. The orchid is also highly fragrant and used in the making of perfumes. This is one of the reasons why they are so expensive and in demand. A young orchid can cost around $5000.

Gloriosa


Commonly known as glory lilies, flame lilies, orfire lilies, the delicate cage like structure of red and yellow leaves makes it extremely unique in its appearance.Gloriosa is originally native to southern Africa and Asia but is now widely cultivated for its commercial use. A stem of this flower can cost $6 - $10.

The plant in all its glory can be fatal for humans as it is slightly poisonous if ingested. Although it is useful in traditional medicines, a higher dose can be extremely toxic.

Kadapul flower


Indigenous to Srilanka, the Kadapul flower is rather an expensive one. The linear white petals of the flower only bloom at night time, and for this unusual habit, some refer to it as 'the midnight miracle.' If picked, the 'queen of the night' hardly survives the night and wilts away by dawn. Its short lifespan makes it beyond value. The only way to preserve the sweetly scented flower is in the form of its essence, oil and perfumes.

Hydrangea


Hydrangea is available in a range of different types, each with its unique shape and color.The leaf stems are mostly short and closely connected to the main stems. The shrub is dense and gets flooded with round bundles of flowers during the season. The commercial use of hydrangea for ornamental purposes makes it quite valuable and expensive.

Shenzhen Nongke Orchid


Scientifically developed by an agriculture scientist in china,Shenzhen Nongke Orchid is a human-made flower and is definitely one of its kind. The plant only blooms once in 4-5 years, making it extremely rare and unique. The plant can easily attract all the attention due to its odd shape.
