For example: A = aspidistra, ... and so on?
Thank you
Are you able to find the name of a flower or a plant for each letter of the alphabet?
There are all sorts of combinations possible due to the fact that there are so many flowers or plants. Most plants have an original name and often also have a common name that has been adopted in English like "Buttercup","Lady's Mantle","Harebell", "Umbrella Plant","Busy Lizzie","Meadowsweet", "Red Hot Poker", "Lily of the Valley", "Solomon's Seal" and so on....
These charming names vary from country to country.
Here is the list that came to my mind from plants and flowers I have had contact with. I tried to avoid those already given by others above:
Anemone
Bergenia
Campanula
Delphinium
Epimidium
Freezia
Gentiana
Hellebore
Impatiens
Kalanchoe
Lobelia
Mimosa
Nasturtium
Origanum
Phlox
Quassia
Rose
Salvia
Tradescantia
Utricularia
Viola
Weigela
Xanthium
Yucca
Zenia
There are plants beginning with X . I have one in my garden. http://dictionary.die.net/xanthium
Names starting with K,O,Q,U,and W,X,Y,Z are the most scarce...just as in Scrabble!
