The following list of featured flowers provides a page with links to pictures & descriptions of garden flowers (and others with spectacular blooms).

If you are new to gardening, the following definitions may help:

An annual is a plant that will germinate, flower & die within a single year or season. Annuals are typically planted in early spring to provide a bright display of color in the garden, & their bed then cleared out by late fall (autumn) after the plants have finished flowering.

A biennial plant is a plant that takes between twelve & twenty-four months to complete its lifecycle.

A perennial is a plant that lives for several years & may not even flower in its first year.

A monocarpic plant is a plant that flowers only one time in its lifespan, such as certain cacti. The time from germination to flowering may be from two up to several years (2-100 years). After flowering the plant will die, giving seeds (and therefore flowers) only once in its lifespan.
