Worlds rarest and most common flower colors are both found in NJ

Here's a fun little take on flowers. What is the rarest and most common flower colors in the world?

You'll find them both in New Jersey, and yes, we see them plain as day. That is, when they're open. As is the case with all flowers, these are usually seasonal.

For some fun, I decided to ask this question during my weekend shows to see what you thought the flower colors were. Surprisingly, only a few of our callers actually got it right. Most were unaware as to what the colors really were.

Again, now that spring is here, you'll see both these colors spreading across our landscapes. As for the colors? Let's start with the rarest.

Rarest color

Most of our callers took a stab at it and said black was the rarest flower color. And I can see where most of our listeners were coming from. Unfortunately, that's not it.

In most cases, black flowers aren't black at all. Rather, they're a very dark shade of red or purple that resemble a black flower. The truth is, there's no such thing as a natural black flower.

Believe it or not, the rarest flower color in the world is actually a true blue.

Most common color

The most common flower color in the world, on the other hand, is so common that it often blends in with the leaves. That's because it's green, the flower color that appears on most trees. We just often overlook them because they're not your typical flower you find on the ground.

Speaking of which, the most common guess for this one was yellow.
