Hi I am Aarish and today I will be giving information about the rarest flower in nature - The Middlemist Red camellia.
The Middlemist Red camellia (/(Camelliajaponica) 'Middlemist's Red')/) is a rare flower that is considered one of the rarest flowers in the world. It is a deep pink color, not red, and is a cultivar of the common camellia.
How it got its name: John Middlemist collected the flower in China in 1804 and gave it to Kew Gardens. The flower disappeared from Kew Gardens, but a descendant was found in the camellia collection at Chiswick House in 1823. The flower is named after John Middlemist.
Where it can be found: Chiswick House & Gardens: The Duke of Devonshire's conservatory in west London Treaty House: A garden in New Zealand
How it looks: The flowers grow on large evergreen shrubs that can grow up to 36 feet tall. The flowers can appear alone or in pairs and are 2.4-3.9 inches in diameter.
Why is it so rare : The Middlemist's Red blooms better in an environment that provides light to partial shade, and they do well under the shade of tall trees. However, it was demised after being transported from China to England even after being in its local habitat, so the only answer that would make sense is that it was over cultivated.
