About Flowerdex
Flowerdex is a living encyclopedia of the world's flowering plants — a resource for gardeners, students, florists, botanists, and anyone curious about the living color around us.
Each entry is assembled with care: scientific classification, native range, growing conditions, symbolism, cultural history, and fascinating facts. Photos are credited to their sources wherever possible. There are an estimated 400,000+ species of flowering plants on Earth, and Flowerdex will never be "complete" — but we aim to make it the most beautiful, useful, and trustworthy flower reference anywhere on the web.
