Flower & Leaf Names

List of flowers and plants mostly used by florists in Europe, all in four languages: Latin, English, Italian and Polish. Some post might be written in Italian, so that can be a kind of guide. I will be updating it continously, as the list of the materials is quite long. Please correct if there are any mistakes in local names or if I miss anything.
