In the visual bilingual dictionary, there are fourteen flowers as flowering plant; buttercup, daisy, thistle, dandelion, heather, poppy, foxglove, honeysuckle, sunflower, clover, bluebells, primrose, lupins and nettle.
As flowers at florist, there are sixteen flowers; lily, acacia, carnation, stocks, gerbera, rose, freesia, gladiolus, iris, daisy, chrysanthemum, gypswophila, orchid, peony, daffodil, tulip.
In The Petit Larousse Illustre, there are nineteen flowers as fleurs ornementales; camelia, dahlia decoratif, jacinthe, pivoine, primeveres, lilas, narcisse, tulipes, lis blanc, chrysantheme, glaieuls, muguet, oeillets, pensee, hortensia, anemones, cyclamen, rose, violettes.
The difference between the two dictionaries is very interesting, but for me it is most interesting that the hortensia of the Petit Larouse is red flower. These several years I' ve never seen such a red hortensia. I know this flower would change its color owing to the alkalinity in the soil. Around me, there are violet blue color flowers.
