About Your Flowers Guide
Your Flowers Guide is an independent online portal dedicated to flowers and, over time, to plants in general. We want to be the place you visit when you need to identify a flower, choose the right bouquet, plan wedding decor, pick seasonal plants for your garden, or simply learn something interesting about the plant world.
Our mission is to make flower and plant knowledge simple, trustworthy, practical and inspiring. We combine clear explanations with real life tips, ideas and examples, so you can not only read about plants but also use this information in your garden, home and daily life.
Who we are
Your Flowers Guide is created and run by a small editorial team of flower and plant enthusiasts. We enjoy reading about plants, testing ideas in real gardens and homes, and turning complex horticultural information into clear, friendly guides.
We are not a large corporation or a store. We are an independent project that is slowly building a detailed, long term resource about flowers and, over time, other ornamental plants. Today the focus is on flowers. In the future the portal will grow to cover more types of garden and indoor plants, always with the same goal: to help readers choose, grow and enjoy them with confidence.
What you will find on this portal
On Your Flowers Guide you will find a wide range of content about flowers and plants. Part of the website is encyclopedic: structured guides with names, characteristics, growing conditions and seasons. Another part is more like a magazine: ideas, stories and inspiration for real life situations.
We publish flower and plant profiles, seasonal and holiday ideas, gift guides, suggestions for birthdays and celebrations, wedding and event flowers, color and style combinations, basic arranging advice, care tips and practical checklists. If a topic is connected to flowers or decorative plants, we want to eventually cover it here.
How we research and fact-check information
Good information is the core of this project. For each topic we try to go beyond a single source and look at several reputable references before we publish a guide.
We use a mix of open and specialist sources, including:
- university extension publications and horticulture departments
- botanical gardens and official plant collections
- horticultural societies and specialist organizations
- reputable books, catalogues and reference works
- general references such as Wikipedia as a starting point, when appropriate
For important details we look for confirmation in more than one place. This includes botanical and common names, bloom times, USDA hardiness zones, typical height and spread, light and water needs, soil type and pH, and toxicity or pet safety notes.
Where it is helpful, we link to primary or highly trusted sources inside our articles, especially for topics like toxicity, safety and plant identification. Not every single sentence has a citation. In many cases a guide is a synthesis of several sources plus our own editorial judgement and practical experience.
How we create our articles and visual content
Before we write, we structure the information for each plant. We look at taxonomy, growth habit, size, bloom time, colors, growing zones, light, water and soil preferences, fragrance, vase life, common problems and other important traits.
Based on this, our editorial team writes and edits full guides in clear language. We aim to keep explanations friendly but accurate, so they are useful for beginners and still interesting for experienced plant lovers.
We also create visual materials to make information easier to understand at a glance. This can include infographics, simple diagrams, comparison tables, seasonal timelines and, in some cases, photos or time lapse style videos that show how a flower develops from bud to bloom. The goal is to help you see what to expect and how to apply the advice in your own situation.
Our limits and disclaimers
Plants are living things and there are many variables that we cannot fully control in an article. Climate, microclimate, soil, watering habits and many other factors influence how a specific plant will behave in a specific garden, home or region.
We do our best to provide realistic ranges and typical conditions, but we cannot guarantee that your results will be identical to any example described on this website. Local conditions and personal care always matter.
We also do not provide medical or veterinary advice. Information on this website is for general knowledge and gardening purposes only. If you have questions about health, allergies or treatment for humans or animals, please contact a qualified professional.
Safety, toxicity and pets
Some plants can be irritating, toxic or dangerous for people, cats, dogs or other animals. Whenever possible, we highlight potential risks in our guides and encourage readers to treat unknown plants with caution.
For toxicity and safety information we rely on established sources such as university extension services, veterinary and toxicology resources and large non commercial organizations. Even so, toxicity can vary by species, by plant part and by animal. Different sources sometimes describe different levels of risk.
Because of this, we recommend that you always double check critical safety questions with up to date, trusted organizations in your country or region. In any emergency or suspected poisoning, contact your local poison control center or veterinarian immediately and follow their instructions.
Updates, corrections and how to reach us
Plant knowledge changes over time. New varieties appear, climate patterns shift and experts sometimes update their recommendations. We periodically review our guides and add new information when we find better data or clearer explanations.
If you notice an error, think that something important is missing, or have personal experience that could help improve a guide, we would be happy to hear from you. You can contact us through the form on our Contact page. We review feedback and, when appropriate, update articles to keep them as accurate and useful as we can.
How this website will be funded
At the moment, Your Flowers Guide is an independent project maintained by our small team. The content is free to read and there are no paid memberships.
In the future we plan to support the website through advertising, for example with contextual or display ads, and possibly through carefully chosen affiliate links. If and when we do this, our editorial independence will remain our priority. We will not recommend a plant or product only because it can generate income. Our main goal is to provide honest, helpful information for readers.
Where else you can find us
Some parts of our work are easier to show in video and image form. If you enjoy visual content, you can also follow Your Flowers Guide on:
- YouTube, where we share flower videos and visual stories about plants
- Pinterest, where we collect boards with flower ideas, color themes, wedding inspiration and seasonal plant combinations
As the project grows, we may add more ways to follow our work. Wherever you meet us, the focus will stay the same: clear, trustworthy and inspiring content about flowers and plants.
