Identifying Flowers Commonly Used in Arrangements

This page is a guide for learning how to identify flowers commonly used in arrangements. I created it to teach myself what the plants I often encounter actually are. All the images below are from the public domain except the ones for the daffodil, rose, and sunflower, which were taken by me.

Obviously, the flowers can have many colors and varieties, but the images below are an attempt to give typical examples or ones that are at least somewhat representative.

Click the images for original size. Clicking the names of the plants will take you to their corresponding Wikipedia pages.
