Here’s a list of flower names that begin with the letter U. With an emphasis on common and easy to grow species:
Uinta Basin hookless cactus is a barrel-shaped cactus that ranges from 4 to 25 centimeters tall (1.5 to 10 inches ). The stems have typically 12 to 15 ribs that extend from the ground to the tip of the plant. The funnel-shaped flowers are usually pink to violet with yellow stamens, and are 2 to 5 cm (0.8 to 2 in.) long and 2 to 5 cm (0.8 to 2 in.) in diameter.Ulex europaeus (gorse, common gorse, furze or whin) is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to the British Isles and Western Europe.Ulex gallii, western gorse or dwarf furze is an evergreen shrub in the pea family, native to the Atlantic coasts of western Europe: southern Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man, western France and the northern coast of Spain.Aechmea fasciata is a species of flowering plant in the Bromeliaceae family. It is commonly called the silver vase or urn plant and is native to Brazil. This plant is probably the best known species in this genus, and it is often grown as a houseplant in temperate areas.Ursinia is a genus of about 40 species of annuals, herbaceous perennials and subshrubs in the family Asteraceae, native to South Africa. Ursinia is popular for its daisy-like, showy flowers that bloom all season long. The flowers attract bees, as well as other beneficial insects.Uva ursi is a shrub that grows flowers and berries. The leaves are used to make medicine. Bears are particularly fond of uva ursi berries. This explains the Latin name, “uva ursi,” which means “bear’s grape.” Most authorities refer to Arctostaphylos uva-ursi as uva ursi.
