Unusual flowers

Whether you sometime saw iridescent roses? Having for the first time looked at the photo of such roses, it is possible to think: it is a photoshop, actually such flowers do not happen! However these unusual flowers were indeed thought up by the Dutch flower growers. To receive an iridescent rose, in the course of growth it is put in water solution with special dyes. The stalk of a flower absorbs dye therefore petals get unusual color. And the rose with petals of all flowers of a rainbow turns out.

Iridescent roses use for wedding bouquets, flower compositions and simply give as a gift. In the similar way paint also chrysanthemums, orchids and tulips. Of course, such unusual flowers the cheap cannot be simple - one rose will cost not less than 10 dollars. But the impression made by means of such flowers is worth it!

The shining flowers are the one more invention of the Dutch flower growers, in the nature them will not meet. These unusual flowers shine in the dark. Apply with a brush special gel which shines in the dark on them. It prolongs flower life, but even after the flower after all dries up, it continues to shine. Fluorescent gel accumulates photons from different light sources during the day and starts shining at night.

Gel is safe for the person, animal and flowers. It can quite be bought to make the shining unusual flowers independently. Liquid gel is on sale in tubes. On one flower about 1 ml of gel is required.

The following unusual flowers were created by the nature, but not the person, and in a bouquet such flower will not put - it not simply big, and really huge. It amorfofallus, still it is called a huge lily. These unusual flowers were opened in 1878 on the island of Sumatra for the Florentine scientists. Now amorfofallus it is almost exterminated in the homeland therefore the huge lily is grown up mainly in botanical gardens in hothouse conditions.

Plant height - to 2,5 meters, diameter of a flower - about a meter. Except the huge sizes these unusual flowers differ the extremely unpleasant in the smell similar to a smell of rotten meat. He is unpleasant for the person, but helps a plant to breed, attracting the pollinating insects.

Very unusual flowers are flowers of a raffleziya. Raffleziya - a plant parasite therefore she does not need roots, a stalk and leaves. At this plant only also is that one flower, but what! Its diameter reaches meter, and weight - seven kilograms. Raffleziya is considered the largest flower in the world.

By means of special suckers the raffleziya is attached to a plant owner (most often it is a liana) and "steals" from it the nutrients necessary for it for development. Seeds of these unusual flowers extend... elephants! When the flower ripens, it starts decaying and eventually turns into sticky weight. It sticks to feet of elephants and other large animals, and they carry raffleziya seeds on a rainforest and when seeds sprout, they find to themselves new "owner" - a liana from Vinogradov' family or other tropical plant.

Some unusual flowers... are carnivorous! They eat insects because the marshy soil on which they grow, cannot provide them with all necessary nutrients. One of such insectivorous plants - a sarratseniye. It is unusual also that cultivated her. Sarratseniya can be used as a houseplant and to land on coast of decorative reservoirs.

Sarratseniya is dangerous (only to insects, certainly), but is very beautiful. Different forms, grades and hybrids of a sarratseniya differ with a form of leaves, size and coloring of flowers. Besides beauty these unusual flowers are good the unpretentiousness.

And what unusual flowers grow in our latitudes? Probably, many saw a ditsentra - in the people this flower call "the broken heart". This plant got to us from Japan, unusual flowers of a ditsentra indeed remind the broken heart. Ditsentra can often be seen in gardens and on beds.

Many legends and beliefs are connected with the ditsentry. French tell story about the girl by the name of Zhanetta. She got lost in the wood, but the great youth hunter helped it to find a way home. Zhanetta fell in love with the savior, but in some days saw it with other girl. Her heart was broken and turned into a flower - a ditsentra. And in Germany consider that the ditsentra will help the lonely girl to meet the promised; for this purpose it is necessary to pick on the way home a flower and to hide it in the bosom.

Our nature is rich in the unusual flowers and plants, and modern flower growers try not to lag behind it. And if you want to present unusual flowers to darling or to decorate with them the garden - to you will be from what to choose (though on a raffleziya and an amorfofallus after all it is better not to stop the choice).
