the rarest gorgeous flower
Flowers are a beautiful thing to see. In this world there are thousands of types of flowers from small to large, from unpleasant smells to fragrant even some are expensive to lure smugglers to get them. These types of flowers are becoming rare guys, mostly due to the destruction of their natural habitat, massive hunting because of its beauty so that it cannot re-exist in its natural habitat!
*1. Kokio Flower
This flower is an endemic flower typical of Molokai Island in the State of Hawaii, United States. This flower is a flower from a bush-shaped plant that can reach a height of 6 meters. This flower is also a hibiscus flower family, so if we usually see red hibiscus flowers, this Koki'o flower is white! Very beautiful and beautiful guys!
*2. Rothschild orchids
This rare aggrek flower is characterized by red lines and long side petals. It can only grow in rainforests on Mount Kinabalu in northern Borneo or the State of Sabah, Malaysia. This orchid only grows from an altitude of 500 meters to 1,197 meters above sea level. Besides being rare, this orchid blooms once in 15 years guys, it's really long right? The price on the black market alone is estimated to be one stem reaching USD 5,000! Wow guys really expensive!
*3. Rose Juliet
This rose spends USD 3 million on research. However, the effort was not in vain because after being exhibited at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2006 this pale white mwar flower attracted attention. Flowers with pale petals from the inside are also increasingly popular as flowers for brides.
*4. Ghost Orchid
Living in Florida, the Bahamas and Cuba, these ghostly flowers make evolution with roots as photosynthetic sites. This orchid lives in a place where many fungi live and from this fungus he gets nutrition. The flowers are white with long, thin petals and two petals on the bottom. Its beauty makes a lot of hunting done so that the population decreases especially the breeding is very dependent on Ngegat Spinx which spreads pollen.
*5. Yellow and Purple Laddy Slipper
This flower is a rare type of orchid that lives in England and some European regions guys! The lower part of the petal forms an area in the form of a hole that resembles a shoe, so that the origin of the name 'slipper' in this orchid is the origin. They are so rare that botanists think they were extinct until 1917 when a plant was discovered in England growing on a golf course and ending the statement that orchids are rare guys, thank God! Now, because of the scarcity, the protected interest in the Wildlife and Countrside Act of 1981 continues to be the target of smugglers to cut the interest until now there are only 6 guys left, only six are blooming! Hopefully it won't be extinct!
*6. Lily Lily Flower
This flower is known to be toxic and is relatively common everywhere. However, after its use in the medical field was found to be a massive hunt so that in its habitat in Sri Lanka it was scarce and in Orissa India it was almost extinct. However, thankfully in the Pacific region such as French Polynesia, the Cook Islands and Australia this species becomes invasive, preventing it from extinction!
*7. Flowers Middlemist Merah
This flower is a flower that resembles a rose that is bright pink in color. Initially this flower was a native flower from China, since it was discovered by the British and introduced in the country in 1804 this flower was soon popular. Do you know guys, the result is if it's really popular? The hunt and the search are very rapid, until finally this flower is extinct in its place of origin. Now this beautiful flower only has two guys, namely in the New Zealand Botanical Gardens and greenhouses in the UK. It's very unfortunate!
*8. Franklin Tree Flowers
The flower of this tree is very unique guys, because it has dark green leaves that turn red in autumn and produce flowers with 5 beautiful white petals whose center is bright yellow. The original habitat is in the Altahama river valley, Georgia State of the United States. It was first discovered in 1765 when Georgia was still a British colony. In 1785, this interest was published in a catalog and named Bejamin Franklin. Now, in its natural habitat, this flower is extinct guys, but the effort of breeding through agricultural gardens because of its popularity has preserved the existence of this flower in the world!
*9. Kosmos Chocolate
Flowers with reddish brown color ii, their natural habitat in Meskiko. This flower is the same as the Franklin tree, which was extinct in the wild about 100 years ago. You need to know guys, this flower doesn't have seeds and it produces buds too! So that the breeding must go through shared roots and tissue culture technology makes it difficult to develop itself.
*10. Jade Vine
The flower from our neighboring country of the Philippines has a green mint guys so it makes it very interesting and unique! This flower dangles almost one meter long. Jade Vine itself is included in the legume family, but its habitat in tropical forests makes it very vulnerable because of deforestation or logging of trees for timber and followed by changes in land use as well. The dilemma when rescuing this plant through captivity was not successful, because no one helped the natural pollination anymore, keleawar! Duh, I hope that deforestation and expansion of plantation land can be stopped, yeah guys, to keep this unique flower preservation!
*11. Kadupul Flower
This flower is a unique flower guys, because it blooms at night and when the morning begins to close. So the existence of many in the folklore where he grew up. The original habitat of this flower is in Sri Lanka, India, Japan, China, and several Latin American countries. This plant usually grows on trees that have rotten in the forest, but forest encroachment is a threat to its existence now!
*12. Rafflesia Arnoldi flower
This country's rare flower icon is often misinterpreted by people because it is equated with Carcass Flower, even though these two flowers are different guys! If the corpse flower grows tall, while the Rafflesia flower extends sideways!
The pride of this nation, is the flower that lives from taking Tetrasgima nutrition, a kind of grape vine that grows in the tree. When the bloom can reach one meter wide! This flower itself is quite rare and highly anticipated when it will bloom! I'm proud, guys, let's keep on protecting and preserving the environment and nature of the country, so grandchildren can continue to enjoy the beauty of Indonesian flora and fauna!
