The Complete List of Flowers A-Z

There are a total of 799 Flowers that have been compiled and organized in this comprehensive list. The selection includes widely cultivated garden species, common wildflowers, and well-documented ornamental cultivars with clear, showy blooms used in horticulture and floristry.

Flowers are the reproductive structures of angiosperms that produce pollen, nectar, and seeds. They range from tiny, inconspicuous blooms to large, showy inflorescences and include annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, and climbers. Many attract pollinators with color, scent, and nectar, while others rely on wind or water. Flowers support ecosystems, garden design, floristry, medicine, and cultural traditions.

Interesting and little-known facts about Flowers:
– Nearly 400,000 species of flowering plants are known worldwide, making angiosperms the largest group of land plants.
– The largest single flower, Rafflesia arnoldii, can reach about 1 metre across, while the smallest flowering plants (Wolffia spp.) are under 1 mm.
– Some species take decades to flower; several agaves bloom only once after 10–30 years, a strategy called semelparity.
– Certain blooms change color after pollination to signal pollinators, helping plants allocate visits to unpollinated flowers.
– The global floriculture and ornamental plant sector is worth tens of billions of dollars annually, supporting growers, retailers, and floral industries worldwide.

An A–Z index organizes entries by initial letter. Each list entry shows scientific name (binomial), principal flower colors, native and widely naturalized locations, and typical flowering season with hemisphere notes.
