Photos from open sources

While preparing this selection of the most beautiful flowers in the world, for some reason I remembered the words of Jesus from the Holy Scriptures: “Look at the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you that Solomon in all his glory did not dress like any of them. If God dresses the grass in the field, which is there today and thrown into the oven tomorrow, then how much more so than you, you of little faith!” Indeed, the beauty and richness of nature takes your breath away and your soul becomes light and light.

We decided to please the eyes of true aesthetes and nature lovers and prepared a rating of the most beautiful flowers in the world. Of course, our choice is quite subjective, but in any case you will be delighted with it. Indescribable beauty!

10th place. Dendrobium

This is one of the most beautiful orchids. The long stems of this plant are densely covered with fragrant flowers ranging in color from pure white to dark lilac. Dendrobium nobilis, or nobile, was discovered back in 1799 by the Swedish botanist Olaf Schwartz. This orchid grows in tropical countries of South Asia.

9th place. Lantana

Lantana, native to North and South America and Africa, belongs to the verbena family and has about 150 species. The name of this flower was first given in 1737 by Carl Linnaeus in the book “Genera Plantarum”.

8th place. Hyacinths

Many people even have these flowers growing at home. They belong to the asparagus family. Hyacinths bloom in early spring with bright and very fragrant flowers. These beauties surprise with an abundance of colors and shades: from white and pink to burgundy and black.

7th place. Dicentra

These flowers are widely popular due to their unusual shape. They are even sometimes called “bleeding hearts.” Dicentras are common in East Asia and North America.

6th place. Rudbeckia

A genus of herbaceous plants in the Asteraceae family, numbering about 40 species. Rudbeckia was first discovered by the first settlers in North America and, due to its unusual coloring, gave this flower a very poetic name - “black-eyed Suzanne.” The main name of this plant was given by Carl Linnaeus in honor of the famous Swedish botanists - father and son Rudbeck.

5th place. Calla

These flowers, quite common in our latitudes, belong to the arum family. This genus is the only representative of the subfamily Calloideae and includes only one species - the marsh calla (or marsh calla). People usually associate these flowers with something negative, however, calla lilies amaze the eye with their beauty and tenderness.

4th place. Hydrangea

Hydrangea is native to South and East Asia, as well as North and South America. Hydrangea bushes can reach from 1 to 30 meters. These unrealistically beautiful flowers were named after the beautiful Hortense, the sister of the Russian admiral and aristocrat Karl-Heinrich of Nassau-Siegen.

3rd place. Paradise Bird

The top three is closed by the “bird of paradise”, or Strelitzia. Such flowers are found only in South Africa. The flowers are named after Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz of Great Britain (Strelitz is the duchy where the future queen was born).

2nd place. Canna

The variety of species of this flower is truly eye-opening. Cannas come in different shapes and colors. These flowers grow mostly in Central and South America.

1 place. Sakura

Perhaps someone will disagree with us, but the beauty of sakura, or Japanese cherry, has been sung by many artists and poets. This separate species of ornamental trees of the rose family is the main symbol of Japan and its centuries-old culture. The cherry blossom process, which, it is worth noting, lasts only a week, carries with it something unearthly and philosophical. It is impossible to take your eyes off the beauty of this plant.
