- Middlemist's Red Camellia
Middlemist's red camellia is considered the rarest flower on Earth. It is believed that there are two known specimens of this flower, one in New Zealand and the other in England.
- Amorphophallus Titanum (Corpse Flower)
Thought to be one of the largest and rarest flowers, the corpse flower is found in the rainforests of Indonesia and can reach up to 12 meters in height in its habitat. It is known as the corpse flower because when it blooms it emits a foul odor similar to rotting meat.
- Fire Tulip (Gloriosa superba):
Native to Asia, tropical climates and Southern Africa, this beautiful and elegant flower is considered the national flower of Zimbabwe. Some of these flowers are poisonous and should be used with caution.
- Jade Vine (Strongylodon Macrobotrys):
This wonderful paw-shaped flower, native to the rainforests of the Philippines, is in danger of extinction in the wild as its natural habitat is being destroyed at an alarmingly high rate. The color of jade vine flowers varies from blue to light green.
Named after the shape of their leaves, ghost orchids are found in the regions of Cuba, Florida and the Bahamas. The ghost orchid plant is so rare because it is almost impossible to propagate it. They have no leaves, do not depend on photosynthesis, and do not produce their own food. They need specific accommodation trees to grow and perfect conditions to bloom. They are considered an endangered plant in Florida.
