Pictures of Angiosperms

Artichoke

The artichoke has clusters of purple or white, thistlelike flowers. The artichoke receptacle, or heart, and leaves are the plant parts usually eaten.

Beech Tree

The beech, found only in northern temperate forests, is related to the oak and chestnut. Most species of beech are deciduous—that is, they lose their leaves seasonally—although some are evergreen and keep their leaves. Both the fruit and wood of the beech tree are useful; the fruit, called the beechnut, has a high oil content and is used as a pig feed, whereas the wood is used in the manufacture of furniture.


Begonia

Begonias make up a highly diverse order of flowers native to the tropics but popular in households and gardens around the world. The cultivated variety pictured here is called Roy Hartley.





Bittersweet

Celastrus scandens, also known as American bittersweet, belongs to a family of woody shrubs with climbing, twining vines and is grown for a variety of ornamental and practical uses. The plant's yellow flowers contain stunning, crimson-covered seeds. Certain species of bittersweet produce a fine-grained wood suitable for carving, while others provide tea, vegetable oils, dyes, and extracts for medicines.



Black-Eyed Susan

The black-eyed Susan, a species of coneflower, grows wild in dry areas throughout the United States and is widely cultivated for its colorful flowers. The plant has stiff, hairy leaves and tough stems. Its blossoms are composite flowers, the central disk and radiating petals themselves made of clusters of tiny, separate flowers.




Bleeding Heart

The bleeding heart, grown primarily for its ornamental heart-shaped flowers, prefers semishade and fertile, well-drained soils. Various species bloom in yellow, white, or various shades of red and the hardy plant can thrive for years if undisturbed but protected.








Bluebells

The bluebell, or English bluebell, growing to a height of 20 to 40 cm (8 to 16 in), is a spring-flowering bulb that produces blue, pink, or white flowers. As members of the bellflower family, species of bluebell can be found in temperate and tropical regions worldwide.




Bougainvillea

The showy display of bougainvillea plants is due to three large, brightly colored bracts which surround each inconspicuous flower. Many hybrids of bougainvillea have been cultivated for their ornamental value, including two varieties with multiple bract colors on a single plant.






Butterfly Weed

Butterfly weed is one of a number of milkweed plants suspected of being poisonous. A tuberous, perennial plant native to North America and generally grown for its flowers, the butterfly weed and all other milkweeds are distinguished by the whitish, latexlike fluid that exudes from damaged or cut stems.




Calendula

Many species of yellow and orange calendula, among them the common pot marigold, grace gardens of the temperate zone. The cultivated variety pictured here is called Pacific Beauty.






Cannonball Tree

Although the flowers are showy, it is the hard-shelled fruits of the cannonball tree that attract attention. When the cannonball-size fruits of this South American tree swing in the wind and bump into neighboring fruits, the banging noise that occurs sounds like cannon fire.






Cherry Tree

The cherry is believed to be native to southern and central Europe and possibly England. However, due to its popularity as a fresh fruit and its use in making preserves and liqueurs, the cherry has been introduced and cultivated in many parts of the world.






Chrysanthemum

The Brietner variety is one of a number of chrysanthemum varieties cultivated for its colorful flowers. Chrysanthemums are quite popular in the floral industry, where they are sold as both potted and cut flowers.
