Flower-themed piano recital

[shasta]

Hi everyone.  I'm thinking of putting a recital together of piano pieces associated with flowers - - - presenting the audience a "bouquet", if you will. 

Off the top of my head I can come up with Sibelius's Op.85 "The Flowers", Rachs 'Daisies' and 'Lilacs', MacDowell's 'To a Wild Rose', Schumann's Op.82 'Lonely Flowers'...

Can you guys suggest some others?  I'd love to hear more ideas.
Thanks!

Billy Mayerl wrote a lot of flower pieces

there's a really nice piece called... sunflowers? or something of that source written by a chinese composer... it'd be a great encore or final piece i think. someone posted the sheet music to it earlier this year, but i'll see if i can find it.

Very Nice!

To me a flower you are (Schumann-Godowsky).

Schumann Flower Pieces (Op. 19, I think).

I think there are a bunch of Joplin Rags and Nazareth tangos that would count.

Mendelssohn has variations (or a fantasia) the the last rose of summer (is it of summer?)

Teresa Carreno has a waltz "basket of flowers" or something similar.

I like the concept.

That's a nice idea. What about Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers?

Who composed that 'Sunflower' piece several of you referred to?  I'll try to find the sheets to it...

Germaine Taillefaire wrote a suite called (I believe) "Fleurs de France". The pieces are short, delightful, not difficult and harmonically interesting.  It's not a BIG work.
