This Zinnia is the first flower ever grown entirely in space! It was part of NASA’s Veggie experiment and was cultivated inside the ISS in a controlled environment. Astronaut Scott Kelly took this amazing shot while the plant grew near a window!

Arabidopsis thaliana was grown through a full life cycle including flowering at least as early as 2001.

Apparently flowers grown in space have to be captured. Probably shouldn’t release them on Earth.
