	abstract =	{We describe a solution to the problem of indexing images
	of flowers for searching a flower patents database by color. We use a
	natural language color classification derived from the ISCC�NBS color
	system and the X Window color names to effectively use the domain
	knowledge available, provide perceptually correct retrieval and allow
	natural language queries. We have developed an automatic iterative
	segmentation algorithm with knowledge�driven feedback to isolate a
	flower region from the background. The color of the flower is defined
	by the color names present in the flower region and their relative
	proportions. The database can be queried by example and by color names.
	We demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategy on a test database.},
