Here is a site I found that is so neat. It talks about Plants, but plants that were mentioned in the bible. You can check it out if you wish. THey have a childrens site link, and information on plants.
Here is just one Example:
By plants we include all plant life such as wild and cultivated trees, shrubs, and herbs.
LILY and Rose Red lips of Song of Solomon 5:13 indicate a red-flowered "lily," such as scarlet tulip or anemone. Other references, such as Song of Solomon 2:1-2, may refer to the actual white madonna lily (Lilium candidum), now very rare in the area, or wild hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis) wild crocus (Croccus species), the rose of Isaiah 35:1-2 (see NASB). It is impossible to be sure to which "lilies" Jesus referred (Matt. 6:28; Luke 12:27): it may have been the anemone or any of the conspicuous wild flowers such as crown daisy (Chrysanthemum coronarium). The biblical "ROSE" is similarly difficult to identify. The "rose of Sharon" (Song of Sol. 2:1) has been equated with anemone, rockrose, narcissus, tulip, and crocus.
