Flower Fear?
The Flower Expert

Did you know? Elizabeth I of England suffered from anthophobia, the flower fear, roses in particular.
Fear of flowers or flower fear is defined as an abnormal and persistent fear of flowers. People suffering from flower fear experience undue anxiety even though they realize they face no threat from flowers. There is no specific flower which causes this fear, any genus or species of flowers can instill fear. So can any flower part, such as a petal or stem.

Fear of flowers is termed "Anthophobia," a word derived from the Greek words- "anthos", meaning flower and "phobos", meaning fear. Flower fear is also known as Anthrophobia.

Anthophobia is an intense fear of flowers that poses little or no actual danger. While adults with anthophobia realize that these fears are irrational, they often find that facing, or even thinking about facing, the feared situation brings on a panic attack or severe anxiety.
