You should probably change the sizing on the clues. It gets cut off on some screens.

I'll chip in with the first few answers, though:

2. Bird of paradise (parrot-ice)
3. Carnation (car-neigh-shun)
9. Tulip (too-lip)
11. Baby's breath
16. Sweet peas
19. Crocus (croak-us)
21. Marigold (mare-rig-gold)
39. Foxglove
40. Tea rose (rows)

My puny contributions:

18. should be some kind of poppy. I found Celandine poppies, and I can make terrafirma sound like landing, but I can’t connect fire to the first syllable.
20. Freesia
38. bearded iris

Iceland Poppy

13. Honeysuckle
23. Ranunculus (Ran-nun-queue-less)
24. Night Blooming Jasmine (I'd be sure of this if "-vicious" were italicized)
26. Hydrangea (If "-fill-" were italicized and "Gee, Uh" isn't too far a stretch for "prattle")
27. Passion Vine
28. Bachelor Button
32. Lavender
37. Geranium (Panel = Jury?)

I think most people pronounce the second syllable just like drain, but it might be just where I came from. I had to look at a list of synonyms to find prattle=jaw.
