Kadapul Flower |ζθ±
Kadapul flower (famously known as the Queen of the Night) is stealing the title of the Worldβs Most Expensive Flower. It is noteworthy that Kadapul is the celebrity star plant in the film Crazy Rich Asians! Yes, go check out the flower-viewing scene in the movie.
I have been mulling over its value since no actual price has been stated on this exceptional flower.
This mystical Kadapul flower is short-lived, and the chances to see it blooms is narrowed down to only once a year, between July to October. Isnβt it unique and rare from the rest? This beauty is a soulful plant that only starts to blossom around 22:00. Β It makes a majestic appearance and emanates a sweet fragrance when the clock strikes midnight.
Since it is visible for several hours only hence not many people can witness the flower blossoms. Just before the first sign of the full sunrise, the Kadapul flower withers, and one must wait for another year to get a glimpse of it. The flower petals are highly delicate, and a slight touch will cause damage to it. With a such short lifespan, the Kadapul has never made it to the store or online for sale.
Originally from Sri Lanka, the Kadupul flower is admired by many. It is a sacred plant with the ability to bring fortune and prosperity to the household. Those who get to watch the flower blossom on a magical night, it is a blessing to that person with a stroke of major luck and success coming its way.
