I've noticed quite a few people observe flowers, but don't know their names! Let's explore the world of decorative reproductive organs of plants! This is knowledge that betters you as a person, and helps you impress both men and women. Time to gear up and learn out!


These are chrysanthemums, a type of aster, like daisies. They come in many colors.


This is a daisy! Children often draw daisies or mock-daisies as a "default flower". There are many different types of "daisy", but it most commonly refers to Bellis perennis.


These are rhodedendrons. They are a hardy, perennial bush plant. They are known for getting annoyingly sticky. Lazy gardeners love these since they're always lush.


This is an iris. These are popular flowers. These are also perennials, making them a handy choice for a low-effort garden.


These are forget-me-nots, which is a stupid name for a flower but we sort of have to deal with it now. The name refers to a group of plants, some are annual and some are perennial.


Dorks confuse the forget-me-not with the lilley of the valley, another stupidly-named flower pictured above. It might be the only species of its genus, and it is found wild in North America.


Ahhh, the classic rose! It comes in many colors, nearly all colors. It is among the most popular of flowers and is appreciated for its sweet scent.


Along with the aforementioned asters, orchids are the most speciose group of plants. It's almost unfair to include a picture, since there are so many variations.


This is lavender, which can also be used for cooking. It is sometimes used in delicate pastries also.


This is lilac. Only an idiot would confuse lilac for lavender so don't do it.


This is the daffodil, a type of Narcissus.


Here's a Calla lily. They're weird, and not real lilies.


These are lilies.


This hosed up thing is a marigold.

This is ageratum, they have weird color hairs and look sort of like fluffballs.


These are zinnias, which are known for coming in a huge variety of colors and being easy to rear.


These are petunias, a low-growing flower that is often seen in flowerboxes.


Morning glories like to climb. They're too much work so don't plant them.


These are pansies, they featured in Disney's Alice in Wonderland and some other flowers did too I guess.

These are geraniums, easy to care for and have a distinctive leaf appearance as well as bloom.


This is a sunflower. You can eat the seeds if you're not a weenus. They're asters too.


Everyone likes snapdragons because you can pinch the sides and make them "bite". A good flower.


Foxglove is great, and you put them on the ends of your fingers like olives.


The "IS" or Joseph Stalin series was a memorable lineage of heavy tank developed in the Soviet Union.


Begonias are stupid, don't plant these.


These are cosmos. They come in many colors and are related to daisies.

These are peonies. I accidentally typed "penies" into GIS and got something even better so these are good flowers too.

Tulips are famous for loving over the Netherlands, but in actuality a lot of the stupidity was on paper and didn't reflect real-life circumstances, since tulip futures were not enforceable.

They are sort of like bitcoins, except a tulip has some inherent value for smelling and looking at.

Yes and to some degree it persists. It was referred to as floriography.

so was it an actual code language or an emblem-based thing like x flower means sickness, x flower means marriage, etc.
