Petunia
Petunia × atkinsiana
Petunia × atkinsiana is one of the most popular garden flowers in the world, valued for its trumpet-shaped blooms and vibrant colors. This hybrid is extremely versatile, adapting well to flower beds, borders, and hanging baskets. They bloom profusely from early spring until the first frosts of autumn, offering a continuous visual spectacle.
Large White Petunia
Petunia axillaris
Petunia axillaris, the large white petunia, is an erect annual to short-lived subshrub native to the temperate and subtropical grasslands of southern Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. It grows to about 60 cm tall, with sticky, glandular stems and opposite, elliptic to ovate leaves. Its trumpet-shaped white flowers, 3-7 cm long, are the only pure-white blooms in the genus Petunia and release a strong fragrance after dusk to attract nocturnal hawkmoths (Manduca sexta), their primary pollinator. Along with Petunia integrifolia, it is the wild ancestor of nearly all garden petunias grown today.
Garden Petunia
Petunia x hybrida
The garden petunia (Petunia x hybrida) is a herbaceous hybrid in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), bred from Petunia axillaris and Petunia integrifolia, both native to South America. Grown as an annual bedding plant nearly worldwide, it is one of the most popular flowers for beds, borders, hanging baskets, and containers thanks to its abundant, near-continuous bloom from spring until the first frost. Its trumpet-shaped flowers come in an enormous range of colors, from pure white to deep purple, plus pink, red, yellow, and bicolor combinations. Leaves are oval, green, slightly sticky, and softly fragrant due to fine glandular hairs. It is a fast-growing plant, ideal for gardeners who want quick, reliable color, but it demands full sun and regular watering to keep up its vigor and flower output.
Bolivian Forest Cactus
Pfeiffera boliviana
Pfeiffera boliviana (synonym Lepismium bolivianum) is an epiphytic cactus native to the montane forests of Bolivia and northwestern Argentina, where it grows hanging from tree branches and other plants in a non-parasitic manner. The species features flat, ribbon-like green stems with wavy margins that can reach up to one meter in length, making it a highly valued indoor hanging plant. During spring and summer, small funnel- or rosette-shaped flowers develop in white or pale pink, often appearing individually at the stem areoles. Unlike desert cacti, this species is adapted to a more humid, shaded forest climate and thrives best in filtered light with consistent watering.
