29 Types of Exotic Flowers
Filaree (Erodium Cicutarium)
Filaree, or more commonly known as redstem filaree or common stork’s bill is another annual we’re adding to our list of exotic flowers. This vibrant pink flower was originally found near Portugal and it wasn’t until the 18th century that it started sprouting in North America. Since then, the filaree can now be found in the deserts and other grassland areas of the southwest.
A few notable facts surrounding the filaree include: This flower is a hairy and somewhat sticky annual. Plus, the filaree uses a unique behavior to disperse their seeds to help grow more flowers. An explosive dispersal is used to launch the seeds to move more filaree across their best-suited planting areas. The flowers do this by storing elastic energy to launch seeds when it becomes appropriate.
