There are several fascinating flowers in the world, and this collection of entertaining flower facts includes both interesting and unusual information about flowers!

3. There are about 400,000 flowering plants on the planet, but many more have yet to be identified, so the figure is likely to be higher.
4. Hydrangeas' color is determined by the nature of the soil they grow in, such as its acidity level. The blossom will be pink if the soil is less acidic, and blue if the soil is more acidic!
