Blue Snakeweed
Stachytarpheta cayennensis
Blue Snakeweed (Stachytarpheta cayennensis) is a fast-growing tropical subshrub native to tropical America, belonging to the Verbenaceae family. It produces long, slender flower spikes adorned with vivid blue-purple tubular flowers that bloom successively over many months. A magnet for pollinators, it attracts over 98 butterfly species, bees, and hummingbirds. It is widely used as an ornamental garden plant and holds significant importance in traditional medicine throughout the tropics.
Zulu Giant
Stapelia gigantea
Stapelia gigantea, commonly known as the Zulu Giant or Carrion Flower, is a striking succulent native to South Africa. It produces enormous star-shaped flowers up to 30 cm across with a distinctive reddish-maroon and cream pattern. The flowers emit a carrion-like odor to attract flies for pollination. Its leafless, ribbed succulent stems grow in dense clumps and turn reddish-purple in bright sunlight.
Starfish Flower
Stapelia grandiflora
Stapelia grandiflora, commonly known as the Starfish Flower or Carrion Plant, is a fascinating succulent native to South Africa.

Common Chickweed
Stellaria
Stellaria is a genus of roughly 120 low-growing herbaceous plants in the carnation family (Caryophyllaceae), best known through its most common and widespread member, Stellaria media, or common chickweed. This sprawling, mat-forming annual produces tender oval leaves and tiny star-shaped white flowers (its genus name comes from the Latin "stella," meaning star). Chickweed thrives in cool, moist conditions and is one of the fastest-growing plants in temperate gardens, often flowering and setting seed within weeks of germination. It is naturalized nearly worldwide and is valued both as a nutritious wild edible and as a traditional skin-soothing herb, even though gardeners often treat it as a weed.
Chickweed
Stellaria media
Stellaria media, commonly called chickweed, is a low-growing, sprawling annual (or winter annual) native to Europe and now naturalized worldwide. It forms soft mats of small oval leaves and tiny white star-shaped flowers, thriving in cool, moist, disturbed soil such as garden beds, lawns, and greenhouses. Prized both as a cottage-garden ground cover and as one of the most popular wild edible and medicinal weeds, chickweed grows and flowers almost year-round in temperate climates.
