Do you have a photo of your flowers? /an/ has a gardening thread that can ID, NameThatPlant is good too. But I don't know about anything on the same level as, say, BugGuide and its 150k users insta-tagging every image.

For potential knights, minhana.net and chills-lab.com are good resources for flower meanings. Nazuna also posts daily about language of flowers, there's an archive of her tweets at https://フラワーナイトガール.攻略wiki.com/index.php?誕生花%E3%80%80まとめ(ナズナさんのツイートより)

There's some fun background stuff there, even the 'birth flower' dates play into knight design. The nation a knight belongs to is partially determined by the season her flower date falls to, and may be her actual birthday (Chocosmos says she was born in autumn because she's a cosmos, her dates are September 24 and October 27). This may be one of these old concepts that got discarded later, though. Do we know anyone else's birthdays?

So a cool fellow on the Japanese wiki recently compiled every single birth flower (誕生花, like birth stones but with plants) listed by the official Twitter, which made it possible to put the "flower knights are assigned nations based on their birth flower dates" idea to test. Here's the distribution of birthdates associated with each knight currently in the game, as reported by Nazuna and adjusted for nations/months (to prevent February and Lotus Lake from getting shafted). Some flowers are given multiple dates and others none at all, but I hope the two will even out somehow.

In any case, it seems that Blossom Hill, Banana Ocean, Bergamot Valley and Winter Rose really do have a tangible association with spring, summer, autumn and winter months, while Lily Wood is the odd one out (Lotus Lake has water plants as its theme, so it doesn't have to follow the seasons). This is kind of interesting, since I figured that Lily Wood represented spring and Blossom Hill was the catch-all nation for common garden plants. There are also some nice cases of new girls being introduced around their flower dates (recent examples include Tuberose, Hordeum, Blood Iris, Agrostemma, Pot Marigold and Sedum), so you can even use these trends to predict the arrival of teased knights.

FKG also implemented a flower knight for nearly every day of the year by now, and you should have a girl corresponding to your birthday unless you're one of the unlucky few (and born on the following dates: 2/5, 2/10, 2/12, 2/27, 2/29, 3/25, 4/5, 4/19, 4/26, 4/28, 5/18, 5/30, 6/3, 6/5, 6/12, 6/23, 6/27, 6/29, 7/4, 7/12, 7/15, 8/10, 8/16, 8/30, 9/11, 9/12, 9/25, 10/19, 11/3, 12/12, 12/31).

This sounds like an unhealthy obsession, and I'm saying this as a person with unhealthy obsessions.

Then again, if you're going to be fixated on one girl, you may as well be fixated on the cutest.
