Today, we have almost 260,000 species of flowers, which reflects the huge and immense diversity in the different kinds of flowers. The origin of all types of flowers can be traced back to a primitive ancestor, which has been inexistent on earth long ago. According to research, the most primitive kinds of flowers which exist today are the roses or the Rosales.
There are many kinds of flowers that we are well acquainted with. We see these flowers in our gardens, at flower shows and exhibitions. We can even see faux flowers in various floral arrangements. While all of this is true we rarely know anything about these flowers. It is true that we may buy different types of flowers to put in a vase but we really are buying the different colors and fragrances rather than just the flowers.
You will also find natural flowers that have been made as a hybrid. These kinds of flowers are the result of two flower varieties being mixed together. For instance many of us see roses that are large and one solid color. There are however other roses that have striped or swirls in two or more shades.
In addition to these kinds of flowers you can use the various flowers from your garden to add some scent and vibrant coloring to your rooms. The many types that we know like the delicate lily of the valley, climbing wisteria, the aromatic roses and even apple flowers have the ability to add some freshness to our lives.
There are as many kinds of flowers as there are people who grow them. Some types of flowers reproduce from bulbs, some from cuttings and some from seeds. Some kinds of flowers are perennials, meaning they do not have to be replanted every year, while some types are annuals. There are even kinds of flowers that are edible!
A beginning flower gardener may want to start simple. Some types of flowers that reproduce from seeds may be pre-planted into a strip of soil. The gardener prepares a suitable place, unrolls the soil and sets it properly, waters it and waits for the flowers to grow. kinds of flowers that start from seeds include zinnias, wildflowers, poppies, strawflowers, morning glories and others. These are generally perennials and will sprout, grow and die in the same season.
Different kinds of flowers reproduce in many different ways. Some types of flowers reproduce from bulbs while others grow from cuttings. Still, others grow from seeds. There are kinds of flowers that are perennials. Hence, they do not have to replanted every year. There are also annual types of flowers, or those that bloom once every year. There are even kinds of flowers that are edible. The variety is endless.
As a general rule of thumb, seasonal blooms are the cheapest, flowers chosen by meaning are the most romantic, flowers chosen by colour are the most coordinated, and flowers chosen by popularity are solely for those who want to keep up with the Human.
A flower is a part of a plant. It sometimes has a stem - a thin pipe - to support the top of the flower. The word "flower" is usually used only for the part that produces seeds.
Annual - Flowers that germinate, grow, flower and die in one year. Gardeners benefit by choosing annuals by having different flowers growing year to year. Pansies are an example of a common annual.
In many plants, a flower is its most colourful part. We say the plant 'is flowering' or 'is in flower' when this colourful part begins to grow bigger and open out.
There are many different kinds of flowers in different areas in the world. Even in the coldest places, for example the Arctic, flowers can grow during a few months.
