From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Flowers
     Very few species of flowers are mentioned in the Bible although
     they abounded in Palestine. It has been calculated that in
     Western Syria and Palestine from two thousand to two thousand
     five hundred plants are found, of which about five hundred
     probably are British wild-flowers. Their beauty is often alluded
     to (Cant. 2:12; Matt. 6:28). They are referred to as affording
     an emblem of the transitory nature of human life (Job 14:2; Ps.
     103:15; Isa. 28:1; 40:6; James 1:10). Gardens containing flowers
     and fragrant herbs are spoken of (Cant. 4:16; 6:2).
