In the world of poems, plants along with flowers are widely used to characterize human qualities, physical appearance and human nature. Current paper is devoted to the analysis of poems where flowers are used to describe human features. The article analyses the poems of the XIX-XXth century English literature representatives such as Francis Thompson, Fiona Macleod, Oscar Wilde, A.E.Housman, William Ernest Hinley. Analysis of the poems show that the names of flowers and plants are often used in lines expressing the beauty of women, the feelings of the lover to his mistress, as well as in the verses describing young children and glorifying the memory of the people who have passed away.
