The queen

                   Garden pansy      of flowers
                                     Roses have been grown
                                     for thousands of years.
                                     Most garden roses are
                      Wild            much bigger than their
                      pansy           wild relatives. They can
                                      keep flowering for            Garden roses
                                                                    often have
                                      months, rather than           many petals.
                                      just a few weeks.

       Flowers with a face                Wild roses have

       Wild and garden pansies            just five petals.
       both have flat flowers that
       look like faces. If you look
       closely, you’ll see that
       the face is made up of five
       petals. The garden pansy
       has bigger petals that overlap.

                                   Garden poppy


       Sowing themselves
       Wild poppies live all over
       the world, from the Arctic
       to the tropics. Garden
       poppies are easy to grow,
       and new plants often
       spring up year after year.
