This article examines the metaphorical models of the “flower” concept in Uzbek and English from the perspectives of cognitive linguistics, cultural linguistics and linguoculturology. The study argues that flower/gul is not merely a botanical nomination but a culturally saturated conceptual unit through which beauty, femininity, youth, delicacy, love, purity, renewal and emotional experience are represented. The research applies conceptual metaphor analysis, lexical-semantic interpretation and comparative linguocultural analysis. The findings show that Uzbek “gul” is strongly associated with poetic praise, female beauty, youth, spring and tenderness, whereas English “flower”, “rose”, “lily” and “blossom” reveal culturally specific associations with beauty, innocence, love, growth, fragility and transience.
