Kadupul-flower-rare-flower

I would love to name kodupul as – the white shinning star. The rareness and beauty are the essential features that make kodupul so special. Rarely few got the chance to witness the beauty of the flower as the flower blooms only after midnight and withers away before dawn. May be this is the reason that it is most expensive flower – in truth I would better say it priceless as no one has ever had this flower long enough to sell it. The flower comes from Sri Lanka. As shown in picture it is white yellow colored and usually grows about 10-40 centimeters in diameter. The blooming of this beautiful flower will take place under few circumstances only. Till date no botanist can explain about the sudden death of kodupul flowers.

The Snowdonia Hawkweed, the yellow beauty was rediscovered in the year 2002. The flower is seen on Mountain slope in Wales, and that too after decades when the botanists told that it had become extinct. The unique and beautiful flower was last seen in 1953 and it was believed to have been nibbled to death by sheep. However, thankfully this wasn’t the reality.
