 Introduction
• This project is made by Me, Harsh and Ujjawal dalal
of class 11th A. We chose this topic because of our
love for flowers and this also gave us opportunity to
visit places that we otherwise would not have visited
and look at flowers more closely so that we get to
know more about them.
• In this project we have provided some information
about the flowers we saw and also we have attached
the pictures that we have taken.
• This was a very enjoyable experience for us and we
want to share that with you as well through this
informative project we’ve made
 Places we visited

Terraced Garden (Sector 33B)

Govt. Plant nursery (Sector 23)

 Dahlia pinnata

• Dahlias grow in a lot of various colors and forms.

• They tend to attract quite a bit of insects, some which
are dangerous and harmful to their survival.
• Used as an ornamental plant. Besides being used like
that, dahlias are used for their medicinal properties as
well. This plants roots contain some nutritious inulin
stored inside them and they even have antibiotic
compounds concentrated in the skin of the tubers.
• Garden dahlia was before an important root crop and
medicinal plant.
• They prefer rich soil (pH level estimated at around 6.5-
7.5) with enough organic matter.
 Lupinus polyphyllus

• These flowers are generally found in North America

and Southern Alaska.
• These are mostly visited by Bumblebees which are
crucial for their multiplication.
• This lupine may represent a significant threat to
the survival of the endangered Karner blue
butterfly, due to its ease of hybridization with the
Karner's food plant, Lupinus perennis, the sundial
lupine.
• They grow in a lots of different colors like blue,
purple and white.
 Tagetes erecta

• Tagetes erecta, or African Marigold, is a frequently

cultivated, tender, flowering, herbaceous annual or
houseplant known for its large flowerheads.
• Despite its name, the plant is native to Mexico
• African Marigold tolerates clay and dry soil but
prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil. It does well
in full sun, which encourages blooms
• It’s used in decorating home, used in rituals, used
as a medicine and has many other uses too. It is not
edible.
 Rosa x alba

• This flower is not native to a particular place. It’s of

garden origin. And its parentage is unknown.
• It’s known by many names like Great white rose,
Jacobite rose, Great double white rose etc.
• It has a sweet fragrance and blooms only in mid
summer. It is disease resistance so hardly gets
destroyed by any disease.
 Bougainvillea glabra

• Also known as “Paperflower” this is an evergreen

climbing shrub and it is kept in gardens due to its
beauty.
• Apart from its beauty, it’s also a medicinal plant
used to cure gastrointestinal and respiratory
problems.
• It is also used in a Japanese art called Bonsai.
 Verbena Californica

• Verbena californica is a rare species of verbena known

by the common names California vervain and Red Hills
vervain.
• This rare plant is threatened by a number of factors,
including cattle grazing, trash dumping, gold mining,
off-road vehicles, and development in its habitat.
• It comes in many colors like white, purple and violet.
We’ve shown a more rare reddish-pink variant.
 That’s it!
So these are all the flowers that we saw while we
were clicking their photos and were trying to learn
about them as well. We hope that readers learnt
something new from our project ☺

The places we visited were great and we had a lot of

fun there! Afterall, being close to nature is the most
beautiful thing that we can imagine isn’t it?

We would like to thank Neetu Kaushik mam (Our

English teacher) to give us such a great opportunity
to learn something new. We thank you to read what
we wanted to share .
