Consider yourself very lucky if you receive any of these flowers on Mother's Day!
While there aren't many, there are flowers that cost more than some homes. Yup, you read that right.
Here they are.
THE JULIET ROSE - $5 MILLION

You can buy Juliet roses for far less than $5 million (a quick Google search will turn up blooms in the $50 range), but the flower is known as the “£3 million rose” because that’s how much it cost renowned rose breeder David Austin to develop the hybrid over a fifteen-year period. The rose made its debut at the Chelsea flower show in 2006, earning the name for the most expensive rose ever cultivated.
SHENZEN NONGKE ORCHID - $202,000 PER PLANT
This man-made orchid is one of the rarest in the world, developed in a lab by the Shenzen Nongke Group. It took eight years to create. It was sold to an anonymous bidder for $202,000 at an auction in 2005.
