Which kind of flower should I bring to sick people, to love one, or for funeral, etc.Roscoe x 18:52, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: An interesting question, Roscoe X.  There are many flowers that have special symbolism, so that would be a worthwhile subject to cover in an article. As for "doing the right thing" in the situations you describe, I hold that when uncertain, juist bring what pleases you. Few people really hold to the symbolisms anyway, so it is doubtful you could make a social blunder by bringing the wrong kind of floral arrangement. - Marshman 17:27, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Plant Vagina 

message: I was puzzled, upon coming here to check for any new info on flower evolution, to discover that there is not even a section for it in the entire article. I generally think of "evolution of" to be the second most important part of an umbrella "creature" article, like snake, bird, et cetera, and therefore of course of their herbal equivilents. As with learning the history of anything, often much of the best, most useful information on a topic tends to be wrapped up in how it came to be, in the most comprehensive and useful way. 
Anyhow, to help rectify this absence, I put together a little Flower evolution section, hopefully it's a tolerable start.--Kaz 16:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we add some floral variety in images instead of the heavy lily/monocot emphasis?

replies: text: Still really overdoing the monocots, can someone please make sure there are basal angiosperms, monocots, dicots, horticultural, etc., so the images are of a great variety, not concentrated in one area, with half representing monocots, and the other half the rest of the plant kingdom?

thread_title:  Blue flower picture? 

message: This page really needs some cleanup. Is anyone interested in collaborating to turn this into a well written, organized, and illustrated article? Just as an example, here are a few problems I see just from glancing over the page:
* The flower anatomy picture used was created (by me) to illustrate Sarracenia flowers in particular, since they are so abnormal. It would be great to illustrate flower anatomy with a picture of a more typical flower. I can probably make one of these.
* Many flower parts should have their own articles, giving more details on their function. (ex., how does the pollen reach the ovules?)
* Is the poem in the "Flowers in arts" section really necessary?
* the "Flowers in gardening and horticulture" section only has a series of links right now.
* The "list of flowers" in the see also section seem rather random and can never be conclusive, and so serves little or no purpose.
* This article has a grand total of 1 reference right now. Some more citations would be good.
There is some good material in this article that can be re-used, but a lot of stuff needs clearing out and a lot of material is badly missing. This is probably one of the most imporant articles in biology, and should be quality. Is anyone with me on this? --NoahElhardt 22:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Well, I've spent the last three hours trying to clean this article up. Whew!!! This is most extensive undertaking I've spent in my time here on Wiki. Anyway, I have deleted a few unnecessary pics, added one new pic, and resized all of them so as to bring uniformity to the article. The different sizes and various placements had everything looking sloppy. 
I have merged two sections and added a redirect to the main article on the topic of dispersal. There were two blank headings (if you can believe that), so I simply deleted them. Simple enough! Amazing what you'll find when no one is really paying much attention.
Also, I got rid of some ridiculous links to web pages that are hardly worthy of being on Wikipedia. So I added three more links, one to Britannica and a flower conservatory, and a third to a pretty nifty flower encyclopedia with valuable information. I also cleaned up the "see also" section" with links to related articles, such as plants. I didn't rewrite much in the article, because this isn't my strength as an editor. But after all I've done, I think the article looks much cleaner, more encyclopedic, and will be better recieved by other readers. Feel free to comment on my talk page. I'm going to see about adding a tag letting everyone know this article needs help as far as the written content goes.Veracious Rey 02:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In Morphology - aside from the Peduncle matter - the section seems to imply that every flower is on a pedecil. What about flowers that are "sessile"? Would that be a good spot to mention sessile for a distinction? Mdvaden 19:31, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sessile is not really a morphological organ per-say but describes how the organ is attached, adding that flowers that do not have pedicils or peduncles are joined to the stem or branch with out stems are  sessile would be useful, some inflorescences are composed completely of sessile flowers, like many 'mints' with verticels.

replies: text: Yes, no need to bog down, and if not all flowers are on pedicils, then the phrase should be changed, maybe in a simple way like you suggested. I didn't think that more info was needed, just clear and accurate info. That's the tricky thing about info - the less there is, the easier it is to be accurate. But accuracy is the aim.

thread_title: adding a new language

message: Err, folks, to my understanding, wikipedia attempts to be an organized collection of facts.  If I am wrong on that matter please inform me.  As I can not have replies before I write the comment, I will continue under the assumption stated in the first sentence.  So now I wonder why you have evolutionary information on flowers in here.  It should at least be labeled as theoretical information: not fact.  If you can prove that the evolution section in the article is true beyond a shadow of a doubt or point me to someone who already has, not only will I be thoroughly impressed, then I would see no problem with it being labeled as fact.  As this has not been done insofar as I noticed, I believe there need to be changes made. As I am not particularly knowlegeable on the subject of flowers and came to wikipedia for information on the aforementioned subject, I do not believe I can make adequate changes. Please get back to me or make a move in a neutral direction or both.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Helk62 (talk • 
:This article is in the area of botany, which is a science, and science doesn't deal with "true beyond a shadow of a doubt," but only with observations of the physical universe.  KP Botany 18:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Science, by definition, does not give or look for any absolute truth, as religion does. Science only tries to give problems the explanation that seems more reasonable and that rises the fewer other questions only using the poor and uncertain data we can detect with our senses (physical quantities). Any explanation that involves a supernatural force must then be rejected by science, in the end, because of the very nature of it. We cannot really believe in science, as it explains us many things, but does not deal with any real truth. On the other hand, we cannot use religion to solve scientific problems. When an apple falls we say it was because of the gravity, but in fact it is the opposite: we invented gravity because apples used to fall and keep falling. It explained and keeps explaining our experience very well. We invented evolution because it explained many things and we still talk about it (or "believe" in it) because it keeps explaining more and more. I'm a science student and an agnostic, I think evolution really happened and that it is still happening, just because it seems a very reasonable and elegant explanation to me.

thread_title: Evolutionary Bias?

message: Although no one has come up with a fully satisfactory lead illustration for this article, the one recently added by User:Alvesgaspar is especially unfortunate, in that it consists mainly of capitula of Asteraceae (making it even harder to convince amateurs that the capitulum is an inflorescence, not a flower), and even the two single-flower examples are radially symmetric, with showy petals.

replies: text: I like the idea of the addition, but Curtis Clark has a very good point, daises are not really flowers but collections of small flowers.

message: Flowers have many different shapes and sizes, and there are many variations in colour, number of flower parts and the arrangements of these parts. Flowers are the reproductive parts of plants which are responsible for the production of gametes (sex cells). After fusion of the male and female gametes a zygote is produced which develops into an embryo within the seed. This seed gives rise to a new flowering plant of the same kind.
Generally, a flower consists of four whorls, which are a ring of leaves, viz.
the calyx on the outside
the corolla lying inside the calyx
the stamens enclosed by the corolla, and
the pistil in the center of the flower

message: The sunflower is listed among nasturtium and other flowers as being edible. Nasturtium flowers indeed are edible as a whole (they taste sweet), but in contrast, from the sunflower you can surely only eat the seeds?  So the text should be slightly amended as "... and the seeds of the sunflower". 86.170.122.219 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 08:56, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Ther Summer Flowers
Rose is also known as Dublin Bay, Impatient, Gul, Gulbahar, Hravart, Roosevelt, Vartan, Arrosa, Aygul, Oklahoma Hulthemia, Hesperrhodos, Platyrhodon, Banksianae, Carolinae, Pimpinellifoliae, Rosa, Laevigatae and Gymnocarpae. These flowers come in white, pink, maroon, red, yellow and orange. Roses are known to be beautiful flowers, but hips, the fruit of roses, are a good source of vitamin C, the rose petals can be used to help dry and patchy skin and rose herbal tea is said to treat cold and coughs.
Hibiscus is the signature flower of subtropical regions. This flower needs a lot of sunlight and room to grow.
Sunflowers are bright yellow and can survive extreme phases of heat. They prefer not to be overwatered.
Different Types of Lilies
There are a variety of lilies in India, including the pineapple lily and the gloriosa lily. Lilies can withstand very extreme weather conditions. In the winter, lily plants and leaves will wither, but don't get rid of this plant. The bulb remains dormant throughout the winter but will bloom again the following season. They're very low maintenance flowers that look great in a garden or one's home.
The pineapple lily isn't really a flower you'd see growing in a garden. This lily is actually a member of the asparagus family, not the pineapple family. You can use this flower as a centerpiece or in a flower bed.
The gloriosa lily is a climber plant, so it looks beautiful draped over poles in a yard. Be careful with this lily though. It's very poisonous and shouldn't be consumed. Deepika Khanolkar (talk) 17:01, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
