Poppy
Papaver
Papaver is a genus of about 80 species of flowering plants commonly known as poppies. They are celebrated for their silky, tissue-paper-like petals in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and white. Notable species include P. somniferum (opium poppy), P. rhoeas (corn/field poppy), and P. orientale (oriental poppy). All parts of the plant produce a milky latex that is toxic if ingested. Species range from hardy annuals to perennials, blooming in late spring through early summer.
Oriental Poppy
Papaver orientale
Papaver orientale, commonly known as the Oriental Poppy, is a spectacular hardy perennial native to the Caucasus mountains, northeastern Turkey, and northern Iran. It produces enormous, tissue-paper-thin flowers in vivid shades of orange, red, pink, white, and purple, each with a dramatic dark center. After flowering in late spring to early summer, the foliage dies back completely, only to reappear as a basal rosette in autumn. This deciduous habit allows it to survive the dry summers of its native range.
Lady Slipper Orchid
Paphiopedilum insigne
Paphiopedilum insigne is a stunning terrestrial orchid native to the misty forests of Southeast Asia and the Himalayas. Known for its distinctive pouch-shaped lip that resembles a delicate slipper, this cool-growing orchid produces elegant flowers in shades of green, yellow, and brown with characteristic spotted patterns. It is the type species of the Paphiopedilum genus and has been cultivated since the 19th century, prized for its long-lasting blooms that can persist for 6-8 weeks.
Lady Slipper Orchid
Paphiopedilum sp
Paphiopedilum, commonly known as the Lady Slipper Orchid, is a genus of terrestrial orchids native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia. Distinguished by their unique pouch-shaped lip (the "slipper"), these orchids produce long-lasting, exotic blooms in a wide range of colors. Unlike most orchids, they are true ground-dwellers, growing in leaf litter and mossy forest floors.
Pleated Inkcap
Parasola
Parasola is a genus of small saprobic fungi, commonly known as pleated inkcaps. They are extremely delicate, with nearly transparent caps featuring deep radial grooves, resembling a paper parasol.

Parsnip
Pastinaca sativa
Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a biennial root vegetable from the Apiaceae family, native to Eurasia. Resembling a carrot in shape but with a creamy-white colour, it produces a sweet and nutritious taproot in its first growing season. It is primarily cultivated for its edible root, which becomes noticeably sweeter after exposure to frost. Parsnip has been a staple of European cuisine for centuries and is highly valued for both culinary and historical significance.
Guarana
Paullinia
Paullinia is a genus of woody climbing vines (lianas) in the Sapindaceae family, native to the tropical rainforests of South America, especially the Amazon. The most well-known species of the genus is guarana (Paullinia cupana), cultivated for centuries by indigenous peoples, particularly the Sateré-Mawé, for its caffeine-rich seeds. Plants in this genus feature glossy compound leaves, tendrils that assist in climbing supports and trees, and small whitish flowers clustered in inflorescences. The fruits are capsules that, when ripe, split open to expose dark seeds surrounded by a white aril—features that resemble an eye, which is the origin of the indigenous legend regarding the creation of guarana.
Regal Geranium
Pelargonium × domesticum
Pelargonium × domesticum, commonly known as the regal or Martha Washington geranium, is a hybrid pelargonium prized for its large, ruffled, azalea-like blooms in shades of white, pink, red, purple and burgundy, often with dark blotches. Unlike its zonal cousins, it needs cool nights to set flower buds and struggles in prolonged heat and humidity, making it a classic cool-season patio and greenhouse plant.
Zonal Geranium
Pelargonium × hortorum
Pelargonium hortorum, commonly known as Zonal Geranium or Horseshoe Geranium, is one of the most popular flowering plants in gardens and containers worldwide. Native to South Africa, it is a hybrid derived from Pelargonium zonale and P. inquinans.

Regal Storksbill
Pelargonium grandiflorum
Pelargonium grandiflorum, commonly known as the Regal Pelargonium or Regal Storksbill, is an ornamental plant native to the Cape region of South Africa. It stands out for its large, showy flowers in shades of white, pink, red, and purple, often featuring distinctive dark markings on the upper petals. It is one of the most elegant species in the Pelargonium genus, widely grown in pots and temperate gardens.
Currant-leaved Pelargonium
Pelargonium ribifolium
Pelargonium ribifolium is a much-branched, evergreen shrub native to the southern Western and Eastern Cape of South Africa, where it is more common along the margins of streams and other consistently moist habitats. Reaching up to 2 m in height and around 1 m in spread, it forms an erect, woody-based shrub with softly hairy, aromatic, three-lobed leaves reminiscent of currant (Ribes) foliage - the origin of its species epithet ribifolium. Small white flowers, roughly 20 mm across and marked with red veining on the two upper petals, appear intermittently through the year with a peak flush from September to November (Southern Hemisphere spring). Unlike many of its Cape relatives that demand full baking sun, this species is notably adaptable, thriving in full sun near water as well as in partially or fully shaded understorey positions. In cultivation it makes an attractive, low-maintenance garden shrub for moist, humus-rich beds or large containers, and propagates readily from softwood or semi-ripe cuttings.
Button Fern
Pellaea rotundifolia
Pellaea rotundifolia is a compact, evergreen fern native to New Zealand and Australia, prized for its distinctive round, button-like leaflets arranged along dark, wiry stems. Unlike many ferns, it tolerates lower humidity and is remarkably drought-resistant, making it an excellent low-maintenance houseplant. It received the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
Arrow Arum
Peltandra
Peltandra is a genus of aquatic and wetland perennials in the arum family (Araceae), native to marshes, swamps, and pond edges of eastern North America. This profile covers the genus as a whole (most commonly represented by Peltandra virginica, green arrow arum) rather than a single species, since all members share the same emergent, bog-loving growth habit, arrow-shaped leaves, and calcium-oxalate toxicity. Grown submerged or in permanently saturated soil, Peltandra forms dense clumps of glossy, sagittate leaves topped by greenish-white spadix flowers in spring, followed by berry clusters that mature underwater.
Florist's Cineraria
Pericallis × hybrida

Flowering occurs mainly in winter and spring, forming clusters (panicles) of small star-shaped flowers in shades of lilac to bluish-purple, with a white variety (Alba) also available. It is widely used in landscaping for its exuberant ornamental effect over trellises and pergolas.
Boldo
Peumus boldus
Peumus boldus, commonly known as Boldo, is an evergreen tree native to the central regions of Chile. Its leaves are leathery, grayish-green, and possess a very strong characteristic aroma due to the presence of essential oils and the alkaloid boldine. It is a slow-growing plant that can reach large proportions in its natural habitat, but in domestic cultivation or pots, it remains a robust shrub.
Schiller's Moth Orchid
Phalaenopsis schilleriana
Phalaenopsis schilleriana is an epiphytic moth orchid endemic to the Philippines, prized for its handsome foliage as much as its flowers. The leathery leaves are marked with alternating bars of silver-grey and dark green on top, with a purple flush underneath, remaining attractive year-round. In late winter to spring, arching, often branching sprays carry dozens of fragrant, rose-pink flowers with a spotted lip. Cooler autumn nights help trigger the bloom spike.
Phalaenopsis Hybrid Orchid
