Flowers flashcards

Here is a beautiful set of printable PDF flowers flashcards that you can use to teach ESL, general English, science, and botany. These cards feature photographs with each flower’s name underneath.

It was a bit of a challenge to compile these flowers flashcards as there are just so many different varieties of each species, they can be slightly different shaped, come in a range of colors, and even vary by name depending on your region.

The plumeria, for example, is often known as frangipani. I am sure there are more exceptions as well. In any case, the best attempt has been made to give each flower its most common name.

You can use them in all sorts of activities and some suggested ideas have been provided below.

The pages include flashcards of the – rose, sunflower, tulip, daisy, magnolia, lavender, daffodil, dandelion, marigold, hyacinth, peach blossom, hyssop, dahlia, orchid, snapdragon, honeysuckle, carnation, peony, bergenia, lotus, hydrangea, morning glory, hibiscus, plumeria, chrysanthemum, aster, lily, carnation, iris, and foxglove.

How to use the free printable flowers flashcards

You can cut the names of the bottom of the cards and use them for a matching/pelmanism activity.
They can also be used for arrangement activities. For example, you can ask your students to arrange them in order of beauty, size, most common, colors, and so on.
Use them for a field trip or treasure hunt in your school’s garden or local garden or park. See how many kinds of flowers they can find and identify.
