1. Dahlia
   Buttercup
2. Tulip
   Rose

We're pretty sure that The Foundations weren't talking about the buttercup flower, but using the word as a term of endearment for someone special. Regardless, the buttercup is a sunny little yellow flower that we like a lot.

1. Tulip
   Bougainvillea
2. Aster
   Chrysanthemum

It was the 1600s in the Netherlands – a place we typically associate with tulips – when something legitimate called "tulip mania" struck Holland's citizens. The bulbs were being sold at high prices, much like we see stocks traded in the U.S. today.

1. Orchid
   Clematis
2. Geranium
   Honeysuckle

Vanilla planifolia, a species of vanilla orchid, is where you can attribute the fragrant (and delicious!) vanilla flavor you use today. The vanilla orchid grows like a vine and its pods start out as green but are dried out over the course of several months to give them the appearance you recognize in grocery stores.

1. Hyacinth
   Kerria
2. Iris
   Narcissus

Even today, Greeks place irises on the graves of deceased loved ones. According to mythology, Iris relayed messages between heaven and earth, utilizing the rainbow as a medium. The symbolism of the iris on graves is meant to convey a loved one's wishes for Iris to guide them from earth to heaven.

1. Rose
   Lily-of-the-Valley
2. Snapdragon
   Poinsettia

May 1 is a public holiday in France, but it's not because of the Lily-of-the-Valley. It's National Labour Day, but it's also a day to honor this fragrant bloom. The tradition is said to have started with King Charles IX back in the 1500s.

1. Sunflower
   Lavender
2. Hosta
   Gayfeather

O.K., that was a fairly easy one, right? Sunflower? Sun? It's still a pretty cool flower to mention and to have in a garden. They really do turn their heads to follow the sun, and despite the fact they look like one giant bloom, they're actually made up of numerous tiny flowers.

1. Queen Anne's Lace
   Daisy
2. Dandelion
   Alstroemeria

Most people love to pick these little flowers as soon as they pop up in a garden because they think of them as weeds. Science says otherwise; dandelions are the common name of the flower genus known as taraxacum.

1. Basket of Gold
   Begonia
2. Rue
   Silvermound

Begonias are one of the most expansive of flower species, with somewhere between 1,700 and 1,800 types based on estimates from scientists. People generally flock toward this flower because of its ornamental bloom.

1. Calendula
   Balsam
2. Tulip
   Azalea

Most azalea types bloom from fall to spring and have been nicknamed the "royalty of the garden" for their abundance of blooms in a variety of colors. Azaleas also make a popular choice for adding to a bouquet.

1. Chrysanthemum
   Clary Sage
2. Sweet Alyssum
   Daisy

The Chinese thought so much of the chrysanthemum that they named it to their very short list (just four!) of noble plants. In this group, it takes its place among the orchid, the plum and bamboo.

1. Delphinium
   Carnation
2. Tansy
   Daffodil

According to legend, presenting someone with a single daffodil is likely to bring bad luck upon them, but an entire bouquet of them is another matter. That is considered to bring the recipient the best of luck.

1. Primrose
   Clematis
2. Osteospermum
   Pansy

The clematis, a vining, flowering plant, needs support – and we don't mean of the moral variety. Because of its quick-growing and climbing ways, a trellis will help support the plant as it expands.

1. Nasturtium
   Morning Glory
2. Dahlia
   Lemon Balm

The dahlia was named the official flower of the city of Seattle in the early 1900s. After passing the ordinance, city officials and gardening experts put their heads together to plant more of the official flowers around the city.

1. Daisy
   Snapdragon
2. Jacob's Ladder
   Gomphrena

Want to cheer someone up? A bundle of this cheery-looking flower should do the trick. Except this "flower" is actually two different flowers. Its white petals make up one flower, while the yellow center is another.

1. Torenia
   Sanvitalia
2. Rose
   Zinnia

A popular song when it was released in the 1980s, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" was a hit by rock group Poison. Of course, roses do have thorns, so the song is pretty factually accurate. Be careful with these beauties.

1. Skunk Cabbage
   Trillium
2. Verbena
   Forget-Me-Not

The forget-me-not flower's scientific name, "myosotis," is from the Greek for – you guessed it – mouse's ear. This is an appropriate name since its small bloom resembles the shape of this rodent's ear.

1. Freesia
   Nasturtium
2. Shooting Star
   Mazus

Freesias come in many different colors, each color meaning something different. Like many flowers, the white ones represent purity, yellow symbolizes joy and red means passion.

1. Camellia
   Gardenia
2. Rhododendron
   Orchid

Be careful not to overwater this flower. When it gets too wet, it reacts by turning brown. Gardenias are beloved for their gorgeous foliage and strong (but pleasant) floral smell.

1. Honeysuckle
   Verbena
2. Zinnia
   Geranium

Geraniums got their start in South Africa, and can still be found there. In fact, more than 250 varieties of the plant still grow there. If you choose to grow them, remember that some varieties can grow to be up to 4 feet tall.

1. Hibiscus
   Bloodroot
2. Crocus
   Calla Lily

You know a flower has made it to the big time when Starbucks is serving it in drink form. The hibiscus is an edible flower; its taste is citrusy. And, by the way, the Starbucks variety is pretty darn tasty.

1. Hollyhock
   Hosta
2. Browallia
   Bellflower

The hosta is a nice, low-maintenance addition to a garden, particularly if you have other, more time-consuming plants to tend to. For that reason, many people with a green thumb use them as groundcover.

1. Gazania
   Heliotrope
2. Hydrangea
   Dame's Rocket

The hydrangea plant's reaction to the soil it's planted in is pretty cool because it impacts what color flowers you wind up with. The acidity or alkalinity in the ground where it's planted impacts the color that it becomes.

1. Impatiens
   Diascia
2. Cyclamen
   Coreopsis

Impatiens like to be close to their friends, clearly! They grow taller when they are more closely-situated with others like it. Impatiens come in a variety of colors in a delicate little bloom.

1. Tea rose
   Aconitum

1. Lilac
   Glory of the Snow
2. Lemon Balm
   Clary Sage

Lilac is purple. And, as you might have guessed, it's the color that helped determine the flower's name. Lilacs have a pleasant fragrance and are the U.S. state of New Hampshire's official flower.

1. Daffodil
   Cleome
2. Magnolia
   Caladium

It's the state flower of Mississippi and a beloved bloom for Chip and Joanna Gaines of "Fixer Upper," but it's also well-known for its large and fragrant blooms. Magnolia flowers grow on trees, but that doesn't mean you can't incorporate them into a garden.

1. Bugleweed
   Rose
2. Canterbury Bells
   Marigold

The color family – red, yellow, orange and maroon – produced by marigolds makes it a great summer-to-fall addition to a garden. Because of their vibrant colors, Marigolds have been used to create dyes for the textile industry.

1. Pansy
   Perennial Flax
2. Red Valerian
   Thunbergia

Pansies are one of the first flowers to emerge in the spring and can easily withstand cooler temperatures. Another interesting fact about these flowers is their appearance, with blooms reminiscent of tiny faces.

1. Aster
   Cosmos
2. Peony
   Lily

Bundle up a bouquet of peonies for your love when you hit anniversary No. 12! This bloom is believed to lend long-lasting happiness and good fortune to your nuptials. That might be due to its own longevity; some plants have been known to live for 100 years!

1. Windflower
   Virginia Bluebell
2. Tithonia
   Petunia

Petunias are the teeny-tiniest little flowers, growing to be just an inch across. Despite their small size, they make up for what they lack in brawn with beauty – producing brightly colored blooms.

1. Shooting Star
   Poppy
2. Yarrow
   Wild Senna

Remember the line, "Poppies! Poppies will put them to sleep?" It was uttered by the Wicked Witch of the West who was trying to get to Dorothy with something that "had poison in it." She wasn't far off. Some poppies do naturally contain opium.

1. Osteospermum
   Ranunculus
2. Rhododendron
   Nierembergia

West Virginia adopted the rhododendron as its state flower in the early 1900s. These flowers bloom in shrub form and can be found throughout the eastern part of the United States. It was schoolchildren who selected it as the state's official bloom.

1. Orchid
   Morning Glory
2. Mirabilis
   Zinnia

Known for their colorful blooms, zinnias are a popular garden addition for that very reason. They can also bloom again frequently after being cut, which earned them their "cut and come again" nickname.

1. Malva
   Hyssop
2. Snapdragon
   Silvermound

Surprise! 2019 is the "Year of the Snapdragon." You probably didn't know that, did you? Snapdragons are typically planted as an annual because they're not all that hardy, but their unique mouth-like shape makes them an interesting addition to the rest of your flowers.

1. Angelica
   Allium
2. Vinca
   Balsam

Angelica has a starburst shape and is a favorite of insects, such as bees. It is frequently used in tea blends and its stem can even be repurposed as candy. Just Google candied Angelica stems and you'll find about 25,000 results.

1. Baneberry
   Gaillardia
2. Gaura
   Foxglove

Foxglove comes in a long spike-like shape, which would be a unique addition for gardens with more traditional blooms. Have patience, though. Once planted, it can take two seasons to produce blooms.

1. Diascia
   Coneflower
2. Dusty Miller
   Fountain Grass

The coneflower is a member of the daisy family, and judging by its appearance, there's no secret why. It has also been known as "snakeroot," which may have earned its name due to its medicinal use to treat snakebites (don't try that at home, though).

1. Crocus
   Bugleweed
2. Catmint
   Bleeding Heart

Calling someone a "bleeding heart" is sort of a disparaging remark, but the "bleeding heart" variety of flower is really quite extraordinary. It features a heart-shaped bloom with a white "drop" at its base.

1. Gazania
   Bee Balm
2. Daffodil
   Globe Thistle

You might find bee balm in tea form, which is a good conduit for its medicinal properties. It is frequently used to treat nausea, indigestion and even symptoms of colds and the flu.

1. Black-Eyed Susan
   Globe Thistle
2. Golden Marguerite
   Gomphrena

Black-Eyed Susans somewhat resemble a daisy in shape but boast golden petals and a dark center. Maryland chose it as its state flower in 1918, even though you can find its varieties blooming all over the country.
