While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

• Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

• Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

• Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

• Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

• Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.
