FLOWER COLLECTIONS
Flowers are ubiquitous in nature providing food for insects, birds, animals, and humans; they also act as natural medicines for humans and some animals, and they aid in a plant's reproduction by attracting pollinators. Flowers have played a significant role in our lives for many centuries. Flowers are considered to be a symbol of love, beauty, and a natural gift. We use flowers to elicit feelings of love and happiness because they have the ability to uplift and cheer people. Flowers have played a significant role in our lives for many centuries.
The BSED Science Virtual Museum of Natural History's Flower collections have curated a collection of flower specimens from the Philippines to showcase their environmental, cultural, and medical importance.
FLOWERS FIRST APPEARED ABOUT 130 MILLION YEARS AGO DURING THE CRETACEOUS PERIOD.
Earth wasn’t beautifully adorned with flowers during its primal years. There were only ferns and cone-bearing trees. But once flowers took root on the planet, they swiftly diversified into an explosion of colorful and intriguing varieties.

Bigleaf Hydrangeas produces large, rounded flower heads, up to 8 inches across, densely packed with a variety of colors depending on the soil pH. Hydrangeas, across many cultures, have several symbolisms. In Japan, it is a sign of gratitude and apology while others associate them with honesty. However, in Europe, Hydrangea used to symbolize arrogance and it, later on, became synonymous with frigidity in the Medieval Era during which people believed that young women who grew Hydrangeas would never be able to find a spouse. At present, hydrangeas have become the dominant player in the ornamental market and flowering shrub world. There’s enough breeding occurring now that everyone can selectively choose varieties that are going to be good for the grower, good for the retailer, and good for the homeowner.

The trifoliate leaves resemble a shamrock and can be green to variegated to deep maroon in color. The leaves close up at night or when disturbed. The white to pink 5-petaled flowers bloom in clusters in spring to summer on stems held above the plant and also close at night. The shamrock and Irish culture are so intertwined thanks to Ireland's patron saint, St. Patrick. Legends attest to St. Patrick using the three petals of the shamrock to illustrate the mysteries of the Holy Trinity to the Celtic pagans.
Pachystachys lutea
Pereskia grandifolia
These plants grow best in full sun or bright, direct light. They prefer moist soil but can tolerate infrequent watering. Rose cactus is a species belonging to a small genus, Pereskia with four species in the Cetacea family that is native to South America and is believed that this genus is the original one from which all other cacti evolved. Species range in form from shrubs to small trees to vines. It is like other cacti with its showy flowers but unlike other cacti, in that, it has fleshy leaves and non-succulent stems. Being tropical plants, these grow best in warm temperatures and high humidity. Prune as necessary to promote a bushier habit. Rose cactus is used as a traditional medicine in many parts of India to reduce swelling.
