write 45 flowers name and their scientific name
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Rose
Scientific Name: Rosa
Perhaps the most famous flower on the list, the beautiful rose has attained cultural significance around the world and is often used to symbolise love, affection and beauty.
Ranging from blooms as small as a fingernail to the majestic Grandiflora, there are thousands of different cultivations of roses available in rich colours and fragrances.
The scientific name comes from the Latin rosa: an easy one to remember!
Lily
Scientific Name: Lilium
Tall, majestic and strikingly-shaped: lilies are a popular choice for bouquets due to their unusual shape and scent. Like roses, lilies are an important cultural and literary device and are known throughout the temperature Northern Hemisphere for their beauty and resilience.
If it's got Lilium in the name then you know the flower is a "true lily"; many flowers which you think share similar characteristics to lilies and even use the term in their common name aren't actually part of the same group. Lily of the Valley and the water lily are the most famous examples of this - but the list is long!
Tulip
Scientific Name: Tulipa
Orchid
Scientific Name: Phalaenopsis
Here's one you'd never have guessed! What we commonly call an orchid is actually known as a phalaenopsis, which is the cultivated flower of choice from the family of plants known as Orchidaceae. There are over 28,000 species of orchid family plants, but the phalaenopsis covers about 60 of those and is mainly native to Southern Asia and Queensland.
Interestingly, the orchid's scientific name comes from the Greek for "phalaena-like" - a term coined for a group of large moths. They're said to resemble them in flight, which is why you'll sometimes hear these called "moth orchids".
Carnation
Scientific Name: Dianthu
Freesia
Scientific Name: Freesia
.
Hyacinth
Scientific Name: Alstroemeria
Peruvian Lily
Scientific Name: Alstroemeria
No surprises in guessing where this flower comes from; the alstroemeria is almost exclusively found in South America, with two distinct varieties centred in Chile and Brazil which flower in winter and summer respectively. The scientific name comes from the Swedish baron Clas Alströmer who was a close friend of the legendary father of taxonomy Carl Linnaeus, proving that it pays to have famous friends!
Chrysanthemum
Scientific Name: Chrysanthemum
Gladiolus
Scientific Name: Gladiolus
WHere's where flowers with names can get complicated: the gladiolus is part of the Iris family of plants but is commonly called the "sword lily" due to its long, thin trumpet reminiscent of true lilies. The scientific name comes from the Latin for sword, gladius.
They're associated with 40th wedding anniversaries, so a bouquet with red gladioli included would definitely go down well with a couple celebrating their Ruby wedding.
Anemone
Scientific Name: Anemone
Daffodil
Scientific Name: Narcissus
.
Poppy
Scientific Name: Papaver
Sunflower
Scientific Name: Helianthus
