12 Incredible Multi-Colored Flowers

[highlight-text]Flowers are capable of bringing us such joy with their incredible colors and fragrances. Nature has provided us with so many varieties, each with their own distinct characteristics and patterning. The flowers in this list all display a flamboyant multitude of colors that, when viewed in combination, provide a special treat for the eyes. Indeed, when you look through the list, you can understand why the famous social reformer Henry W Beecher once described flowers as 'the sweetest thing God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into'.[/highlight-text][/color]

3. Walking Iris/Apostle Plant (neomarica northiana)



The walking iris (also known as the Apostle Plant) or neomarica northiana is one of the most striking plants of the Iradaceae genus. It can be found across Central & South America and its petals display interesting shapes as well as brilliant colors in blue and pearly white. The weight exerted by the plantlet as it grows causes the stalk of the plant to bend towards the ground and allows the flower to root away from its host plant - which is how it came to be associated with 'wandering' or 'walking'.
