Melki Just wondering - can we count books that include non-blooming plant-life in the titles, such as ivy or vine?

No, this one is strictly flowers, although I will count blooming tree flowers, like cherry blossoms, or dogwoods, etc.

Sorry, no. "Flower" or flower name in the title.

Probably my one and only for this challenge. (Several books to read that don't fit the challenge)
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh
It was a wonderful book!

We used to grow them when we lived in Pittsburgh, and they do indeed bloom only at night.
