Alphabet, flowers...

There is a school in the 9^th arrondissement, named after Paul Gauguin. One of its walls is covered by tiles, illustrating the alphabet and obviously each letter is referring to a flower. I’m definitely no flower expert, but I’m sure there are some among my blog visitors. Maybe you could help to give the names of the flowers? Of course the letters here refer to the French names of the flowers, but if you recognize some of them in English, German, Chinese, Swedish…, I’m sure we can find the translation.

Well, I believe I may (after serious research) have recognized a few, but I may be wrong:

B for “bégonia”, D for “digitale” (digitalis - fox-glove), E for “églantier” (eglantine), G for “geranium”, J for “jacinthe” (hyacinth), L for “lis” (lily), M for “marguerite” (daisy), N for “narcisse” (narcissus), O for “orchidée” (orchid), R for “rose”, T for “tulipe”… What also confused me was e.g. that the S to me looks like a sunflower which would be fine in English, but it’s called “tournesol” in French and also that the Y seems to be a “muguet” (lily-of-the-valley)…
