Flowers:
We can learn a lot from flowers. The latin names are universal so we can easily find the translations. Wikipedia is a good source of information in all the different languages.
Notice the use of the plural in English, ( suffix = S or ES), which changes the pronunciation too. The article A or AN before a vowel is used for the singular, no article is needed in the plural for generalizing or naming the flowers in the picture, otherwise we use SOME to define an indefinate quantity, eg. I have got some beautiful flowers in my garden. See your grammar book for other quantifiers.
NB the ending 'us' is latin in narcissus, so the common plural is narcissi because it's easy to pronounce (for more information click on the word 'narcissi'). This is common in English when speaking about plants or when using latin words. (However we prefer to say crocuses...)
