The Most Expensive Cut Flowers in America

 When you want a colorful yard with beautiful flowers and are willing to spend the time developing them, you should investigate the where and why of your choices. There are various magazines that explain where the flowers come from and how to care for them. You could go online to find the same information, and that is as close as your fingertips.
  
As Valentine’s Day comes around year after year, it proves to be the best time to invest in the expensive cut flowers in America. The values of the flowers are rarely questioned and most are willing to shell out those hard-earned bucks. However remember when you pay for them from bank accounts that the intended receiver shares, draw out the money and pay cash for them. Just a word from the wise to the wise.
  
Why, though, are they so expensive? They import many from as far away as Hawaii for the Orchid; or the Orient for the Lily hybrids; or the Tulips from France. When they export the exotic flowers from across the globe, you can understand the price.
  
However consider the common rose. One of the most beautiful and demanding flowers around. The price can range from a mere $5 to over $45 per bunch. It all depends on the rose itself, and where it was produced. The East rose costs more than they do when purchased in California where they’re grown. That’s understandable as well.
  
Those blooms that only show up for short periods of time cost more than those growing for several months each year. If the plants are difficult to grow, the price goes up and up and up. The higher quality and the price continue to rise.
  
Then again, if you’re not really looking for a bouquet to send to your loved one, and you want those exotic flowers for your garden; do your homework. Make sure the plants will outlive the season, and will thrive in your yard. If it’s all about image, for instance try growing orchids in your hot house. They are difficult to grow, are not cheap, but their beauty outshines most other flowers.
  
The Hydrangea is a good example of a difficult plant to grow. Their flowers are in great demand and you’ll see them in fresh arrangements and dry as well. You can plant the bulb that produces the Hydrangea vine and they transplanted the popular flowers from Africa.
