Dataset of seven tropical flower species from Bangladesh: A resource for classification and ecological studies

We present the Tropical Flower Dataset: Seven Species from Bangladesh, a collection of 4,319 high-quality images containing seven tropical flower species: Rose (827), Bougainvillea (580), Marigold (717), Hibiscus (548), Crown of Thorn (583), Jungle Geranium (698), and Madagascar Periwinkle (366). All images were taken using a Redmi Note 11 smartphone at different locations within the Dhaka Division. The dataset is beneficial for flower classification and ecological purposes, encompassing diverse growth stages and distinct lighting conditions. Future work will focus on improving generalization through data augmentation and fine-tuning, aiming to enhance automated flower species recognition for ecological monitoring, biodiversity studies, and botany education.
