NAMES OF FLOWERS.A to B.                                                              I am including pages on the names of flowers, for there are many people who believe  that  the botanic names of flowers are also the Latin  names(and vice-versa), also the following  pages lists, at length some of the many hundreds of flowers that we now see. Perhaps the list is by  no means complete, due in the main to the very large and wide selection of the marvelous flowers available. Although some of the flowers have Latin names, others originated from the greek names,  which may be the reason some of the Latin names are not readily available I do wish however to pose a qestion to you :-  If there is a paticular flower that is grown in abundance in one country, but rarely grown in another, how can it have a common name which applies to both countries?? This could however be classed as a trick question, as the common names are English.       Common Name           Botanical name                 Latin name    Acacia                                                                      Acacia                         Acacia Rose                         Robina Hispida             Acacia Rosea     Acanthus                              Acanthaceae                 Acanthus    African Corn Lilley                Iridaceae                      Ixia    African Lilley                        Agapanthus      African Marigold                  Tagetes                         Targetes Erecta    Almond Spurge                                                         Euphorbia Amygdaloides    Almond Tree                                                             Amygdalus    Aloes Socotrine                                                         Aloe Succotrina    Alpine Barrenwort                Berberidaceae               Epimedium Alpina    Alpine Golden Chain Tree     Fabaceae                      Laburnam Alpinium    Alpine Honeysuckle              Caprifoliaceae               Lonicera Alpigena    Alpine Pasque Flower           Ranunculaceae              Pulsatilla Alpina    Alpine Thistle                        Eryngium         Amaranth                                                                  Amaranthus                          Amaryllis                                 Hippeastrum                Amazon Lilley                       Eucharis      American Aloe                                                          Agave Americana    Annual Phlox                                                             Pholx Drummondii      Arum Lilley                           Zantedeschia                 Arum Vulgare    Arum Fly Catching                                                     Arum Crinitum    Ash                                                                            Fraxinus Excelsior    Ash Leaved Trumpet Flower                                      Biguonia Radicans    Asiatic Day Flower              Commelinaceae              Commelina Communis    Aspen                                                                        Populus Tremula    Aster-China                                                               Aster Chinensis    Austrian  Gentian                  Gentianaceae                 Gentianella Ausricana       B   Baby's Breath                      Gypsophelia    Ballon Flower                      Playtcodon    Balm                                                                          Melissa Officinalis    Balsam of Peru                                                          Myroxylon    Barberry                                                                    Berberis    Barberton Daisy                 Gerbera    Basil                                     Ocimum    Bellflower                            Canterbury Bells         Campanula      Bells of Ireland                    Moluccella    Bellflower Pyramidial          Campanulaaceae       Campanula Pyramidalis    Bilberry                                Ericaceae                   Vaccinium Myrtillus    Bird of Paradise                   Strelizia    Bird's-nest Orchid                Orchidaceae             Neottia Nidus-avis    Bluebell                              Hyacinthaceae       Hyacinthoides Non-scripta    Blue-eyed Mary                   Boraginaceae           Omphalodes Verna    Bloom                                   Chrysanthemum    Broom                                   Genista                       Genista     Burning Bush                       Rutaceae                     Dictamnus Albus                                        These are only a few of the many flowers under A and B, for there are indeed many, listing them all would lead to an extended page, but I have continued on with the alphabetical listing, hoping you may find that which you are seeking.                      FRED.
