Hello, I live in Australia, N.S.W. I have a science experiment to be conducted on 6th June. The experiment requires me to pick 5 different types of flowers. Since it's an experiment, I have to be specific and name the flowers, which I have no clue about. I picked them with permission from my neighbours and they don't know the names of the flowers as well. I really need some help with this please as I'll be doing my experiment on 6th June but cannot do it without the names. I have provided images because I don't know how to describe them as my vocabulary on plants and botanical terms is like.. zero?.. or very limited. =___=!!! Images called “paper flowerâ€, “pf2, pf3, etc†- flowers with 3 red-pink petals each. I heard that it's called something like "paper flowers" in Chinese but I'm not sure. The edited image with a cross on it is just petals from a rose irrelevant to the plant in the picture. Leaves are ovate shaped (Don’t know if I’m using correct term). “red flowerâ€, “stem of red flowerâ€, “rf2, rf3, etc†– bright red flowers, about 5 petals each. The leaves and stem are hard, not soft. “furry flowerâ€, “ff2â€, “furry flower stem†..etc – purple petals that seem closed up? Or maybe haven’t blossomed yet. They have fine white hair all over them, giving them a furry look. "furry flower.jpg" - you can see red flowers on the left. Red flowers are the same as "red flower", just on a different angle and lighting. “pink flowerâ€, “pnkf2†– pink coloured petals, the middle part (yellow) is pollen? I really don’t know! X__X and the images don't show much detail but the leaves are actually toothed like a saw (serrate). Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it. Sorry if it was hard to understand what I posted and that this was such a long post! X___X
First set is Bouganvillea and the colorful parts are actually a bract rather than a flower, the flower is the little cluster of white in the center. the second set is a red Geranium third set is Lupine and I dont recognize the fourth set.
