The Most Expensive Flowers in the World

3. Saffron Crocus

Price: $1200 – $1500 per pound

When you hear the word saffron, most of you picture a yellow condiment. And while this is the end result of the saffron flower’s stamen, which is hand-picked and dried to create a powder, the actual blossoms are purple. Given that you need approximately 80,000 flowers to create 500 grams of the flavourful ingredient, its price tag is almost justified.
