         <description><![CDATA[<div>My favorite flower. A genus comprising about 70 species of annual and perennial flowering plants in the daisy family Asteraceae, commonly known as <strong>sunflowers</strong>.&nbsp; This and other species are cultivated in temperate regions and some tropical regions, as food crops for humans, cattle, and poultry, and as ornamental plants. The species H. annuus typically grows during the summer and into early fall, with the peak growth season being mid-summer.<br><br>They are usually tall, growing to a height of 300 centimetres (120 inches) or more. Each "flower" is actually a disc made up of tiny flowers, to form a larger false flower to better attract pollinators. Their colors range from yellow, orange, red, and purple.&nbsp;<br><br>Domain: Eukaryota<br>Kingdom: Plantae<br>Phylum: Tracheophyta&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Class: Magnoliopsida<br>Order: Asterales&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Family: Asteraceae<br>Genus: Helianthus&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Species: Helianthus annuus</div>]]></description>

Tulips are among the most popular of all garden flowers, and numerous cultivars and varieties have been developed. Tulip flowers occur in a wide range of colours except true blue—from purest white through all shades of yellow and red to brown and deepest purple to almost black. Almost 4,000 horticultural varieties have been developed from a number of species and hybrids. There are several different classification schemes based on the plants’ time of bloom, flower shape, and plant size."</div>]]></description>

Also, human bodies were buried directly in the ground back then and were often scavenged by wild animals. So to ensure that graves will be left alone, people planted red spider lilies over buried bodies to deter animals. Graves and death were soon associated with the red spider lily, earning it the name of 'death flower' and the even darker, '<em>corpse flower</em>’.</div><div><br></div><div>There are various sorrowful legends about this flower and one of them says that when a person sees someone that they may never meet again, these flowers would bloom along the path.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Red Spider Lilies (Lycoris) became especially popular as it is often shown in anime series such as Tokyo Ghoul or Kimetsu no Yaiba.

It was said that Pan was in love with a nymph named Syringa. As he was chasing her through the forest one day, she turned herself into a lilac shrub to disguise herself because she was afraid of him. Pan found the shrub and used part of it to create the first panpipe. Syringa's name comes from the Greek word for pipe, "syrinks"—and that's where the lilac's scientific name, <em>Syringa</em>, came from.</div>]]></description>

Roses also grow a berry-shaped fruit called rose hips. The fruit can be orange, red, dark purple, or black.&nbsp;<br>A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can erect shrubs, climb, or trail, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Their flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colors ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa.[citation needed] Species, cultivars, and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, which has been used in developing a wide range of garden roses.<br><br>Domain: Eukaryota</div><div>Kingdom: Plantae</div><div>Phylum: Spermatophyta</div><div>Subphylum: Angiospermae</div><div>Class: Dicotyledonae</div><div>Order: Rosales</div><div>Family: Rosaceae</div><div>Genus: Rosa</div><div>Species: Rosa wichuraiana</div><div><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br><strong>Domain: </strong>Eukaryote</div><div><strong>Kingdom:</strong> Plantae</div><div><strong>Phylum:</strong> Vascular plant</div><div><strong>Class:</strong> Dicotyledons&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Order:</strong> Malpighiales</div><div><strong>Family:</strong> Rafflesiaceae</div><div><strong>Genus: </strong>Rafflesia&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Species:</strong> <em>Rafflesia arnoldii</em><br><br></div><div>The corpse flower, also known as the giant padma or Rafflesia arnoldii, is a type of flowering plant in the parasitic genus Rafflesia. It is the world's largest flower. It smells bad and strong like rotting flesh. It is found in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds. It is a parasitic plant, with no visible leaves, roots, or stem.</div><div><br></div><div>But why do Rafflesia flowers have such a bad smell? It turns out that the awful smell serves a biological purpose: it brings in flies and other insects that pollinate the plant so it can keep making more plants. The rotten smell comes from chemicals like dimethyl disulfide, which has sulfur in it.</div><div><br></div><div>The buds and blooms are considered a delicacy in Thailand, while in other parts of southeast Asia, the plant is thought to have medicinal powers.</div><div><br></div><div>The vice-president of the Kelantan Licensed Tourist Guides Association, stated that touching the Rafflesia would undoubtedly cause damage to the flower because it was a sensitive species. "The bacteria on our hands may cause the flower to wilt or die."</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>
