Mysore Trumpetvine
Thunbergia mysorensis
Thunbergia mysorensis, commonly known as the Mysore Trumpetvine or Indian Clock Vine, is a spectacular evergreen climbing plant native to the tropical regions of southern India, particularly Karnataka. It belongs to the family Acanthaceae and is celebrated for its dramatic pendulous racemes of bicolored flowers—vivid yellow with maroon-red rims—that cascade like strings of exotic jewels. A recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, this fast-growing vine can reach up to 6 meters and is a favorite in tropical and subtropical gardens worldwide.
Princess Flower
Tibouchina granulosa
Tibouchina granulosa, commonly known as the Princess Flower or Glory Bush, is a medium-sized tree native to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is notable for its rounded crown and dark green foliage with a velvety texture. Its most striking feature is its exuberant flowering, which typically occurs twice a year, covering the tree with vibrant shades of purple or pink flowers.
Glory Bush
Tibouchina mutabilis
The Brazilian glory tree (Tibouchina mutabilis), known in Brazil as manacá-da-serra, is an evergreen ornamental tree native to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, especially the coastal mountain ranges of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná and Santa Catarina. A member of the Melastomataceae family, it can reach up to 12 meters in height with an open, spreading crown. Its most striking trait is its flowering display: blossoms open white, turn pink, then deepen to purple, giving the tree a multicolored look as old and new flowers bloom together.
Tiger Flower
Tigridia
Tigridia pavonia is a striking summer bulb from the Iris family (Iridaceae), native to Mexico and Central America. It is characterized by showy, brightly colored flowers with distinctive spotted centers resembling a tiger's or peacock's eye. Each individual flower blooms for only one day, but the plant continuously produces new flowers over 2-4 weeks in summer. The leaves are sword-shaped, pleated, with prominent longitudinal veins, and they die back in the fall.
Little-leaf Linden
Tilia cordata
The Little-leaf Linden (Tilia cordata) is a long-lived deciduous tree in the Malvaceae family, native to Europe and western Asia. It reaches a height of up to 30 m with a broad, rounded crown spreading up to 12 m. In summer (June–July), it produces small, creamy-yellow flowers with an intense, sweet fragrance that attracts bees, making it highly valuable for beekeeping. Its heart-shaped, dark green leaves turn golden in autumn. The linden is a long-lived tree (living over 1,000 years), exceptionally frost-resistant (down to -34°C), and relatively tolerant of urban conditions.
Henry's lime
Tilia henryana
Henry's lime (Tilia henryana) is a deciduous tree native to the mountain forests of central China (Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Zhejiang...), introduced to the West by Ernest Wilson in 1901. More compact than the common lime, it reaches 30 to 50 ft in height in cultivation (up to 80 ft in its native habitat), with a rounded, spreading habit and pale gray bark that fissures with age. Its heart-shaped leaves, coppery when budding then glossy green, are distinguished by a ciliate margin of long silky bristles reminiscent of a carnivorous plant's eyelashes, before turning golden yellow in autumn. The late flowering (late August-September) produces abundant clusters of highly fragrant, nectar-rich creamy white flowers, among the last of the Tilia genus to open.
Pink Quill
Tillandsia cyanea
Tillandsia cyanea, known as the Pink Quill, is an epiphytic air plant native to Ecuador prized for its long-lasting bright pink flattened bract that rises from a rosette of narrow, arching green leaves. Unlike soil-grown houseplants, it has no true roots for absorbing nutrients -- instead it draws water and nutrients through specialized trichomes on its leaves. Small tubular violet-blue flowers emerge one at a time from the pink bract, which itself can stay colorful for two to three months.
Blue-flowered Torch
Tillandsia lindenii
Tillandsia lindenii, commonly called the Blue-flowered Torch, is an eye-catching epiphytic bromeliad native to the cloud forests of Ecuador and Peru. It forms a compact rosette of arching, dark green, strap-like leaves from which rises a flattened, sword-shaped bract in shades of green, pink, or rose. From this striking bract emerge a succession of large, deep violet-blue flowers with white throats, each lasting only a few days while the colorful bract itself persists for months. Grown as a houseplant, it thrives mounted on bark or lightly potted in a well-aerated, soil-free medium, needing no traditional soil since it absorbs water and nutrients through specialized leaf scales called trichomes.
Spanish Moss
Tillandsia usneoides
Spanish moss is a flowering epiphytic bromeliad, not a true moss and not parasitic, native to the southeastern United States, Mexico, Central America, and South America. It forms long, silvery-grey strands that drape over host trees such as live oaks and bald cypress, absorbing water and nutrients from the air through specialized scales (trichomes) on its leaves rather than through roots in soil.
Wild Service Tree
Torminalis glaberrima
The wild service tree (Torminalis glaberrima, formerly Sorbus torminalis) is a medium-to-large deciduous tree in the rose family (Rosaceae), native to Europe and Western Asia. Its distinctive lobed foliage, reminiscent of maple leaves, turns a vibrant red-bronze in the fall. Its white flowers bloom in loose panicles during May and June, followed by small, brown, speckled pomes. Due to their tart flavor, they are only edible when overripe (bletted, or softened after frost), at which point they become a vitamin C-rich treat. It grows at a moderate rate but is exceptionally long-lived, reaching heights of up to 20 meters, and tolerates drier, calcareous soils well, becoming drought-tolerant once established.
Star Jasmine
Trachelospermum jasminoides
Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly known as star jasmine or Confederate jasmine, is a vigorous evergreen climbing vine native to eastern and southeastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam). It produces clusters of intensely fragrant, star-shaped white flowers in summer. The glossy dark green leaves are oval and leathery, often taking on attractive bronze-red tones in winter. Widely grown as an ornamental climber on fences, trellises, walls, and pergolas, it also performs well as a groundcover. Mildly toxic if ingested.
Windmill Palm
Trachycarpus fortunei
Trachycarpus fortunei, known as the Windmill Palm, is one of the most cold-hardy palms in the world. Native to the mountainous regions of China and Japan, it features a characteristic trunk covered in a dense layer of brown fibers that resemble hemp. Its fan-shaped leaves are a vibrant dark green and can withstand heavy snow and temperatures well below freezing, making it a popular choice for gardens in temperate climates.
Water Chestnut
Trapa natans
Trapa natans, commonly known as water chestnut or water caltrop, is a floating annual aquatic plant native to Eurasia and Africa. It is recognized by its diamond-shaped floating leaves arranged in a rosette and its distinctive four-horned spiny nuts, which are edible and have been consumed by humans for over 3,000 years. It is considered an invasive species in North America.
Catuaba
Trichilia
Trichilia is a genus of over one hundred tropical tree species in the mahogany family (Meliaceae), distributed across tropical America, Africa, and Madagascar. Representative species like Trichilia catigua (catuaba) grow as understory trees in the Atlantic Forest and South American rainforests, reaching up to 10 meters tall, with compound leaves of 5-7 leaflets and yellow-whitish flowers blooming in spring. The genus is valued both as ornamental foliage plants and, in the case of catuaba, as a traditional Brazilian tonic herb.
Toad lily
Tricyrtis formosana
Tricyrtis formosana, the Taiwan toad lily, is a hardy perennial native to the woodland understories of Taiwan. In late summer and autumn, it produces small, star-shaped white flowers with prominent purple spots and yellow throats, reminiscent of exotic orchids. The glossy, lance-shaped dark green leaves remain attractive throughout the growing season, and the plant eventually forms dense clumps via creeping rhizomes. It is a shade-loving plant resistant to both diseases and pests, making it ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and pond margins.
Yellow Walking Iris
Trimezia gracilis
Trimezia gracilis, commonly called yellow walking iris, is a rhizomatous perennial in the Iridaceae family, native to west-central and southeastern Brazil through Paraguay. It forms upright fans of sword-shaped leaves and produces short-lived yellow flowers marked with brown-purple blotches at the base of the petals. Each bloom lasts only a day, but flowering continues from spring through fall. The common name refers to the plantlets that form at the tips of spent flower stalks, which root where they touch the ground, making the clump appear to "walk."
Common wheat
Triticum aestivum
Common wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most widely cultivated cereal grain in the world and is among humanity's oldest cultivated plants. Domesticated over 9,000 years ago in the Near East, it is now grown on every continent. This annual grass reaches a height of up to 120 cm and forms characteristic spikes that ripen in summer. Its grains are the foundation for bread, flour, pasta, and a variety of other foods. Common wheat has relatively high demands for soil, water, and climate, preferring sunny locations with nutrient-rich, well-drained soils.
Sun's-Eye Tulip
Tulipa agenensis
Tulipa agenensis, commonly known as the Sun's-Eye Tulip or Sharon Tulip, is a wild tulip species native to the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean region. It produces striking scarlet flowers with a distinctive black basal blotch edged in yellow, blooming in spring. As a deciduous bulbous perennial, it enters summer dormancy and is well-adapted to dry, sunny Mediterranean climates.
Hybrid Tulip
Tulipa hybrida
Hybrid Tulips (Tulipa hybrida) are the iconic spring-blooming bulbous perennials beloved worldwide for their vivid, cup-shaped flowers. Originating from wild species of Central Asia and Turkey, centuries of cultivation in the Netherlands and beyond have produced thousands of named varieties in nearly every color imaginable. They bloom in early to late spring and are a classic feature of both formal gardens and informal borders.
Typhonium
Typhonium
Typhonium is a genus of tuberous aroids comprising over 70 species, native to tropical Asia, Mongolia, and northeastern Australia. These clumping perennials produce glossy, lobed, triangular leaves in medium to dark green, held on long petioles. In summer, dark purple or maroon spathes appear, often malodorous, which is typical of the Araceae family. The plant enters dormancy in winter, losing its foliage until the following spring.
Water Banana
Typhonodorum lindleyanum
Typhonodorum lindleyanum, commonly known as the Water Banana, is a giant monotypic aroid from Madagascar, the Comoros, Zanzibar, Mauritius, and eastern Tanzania. Growing in freshwater swamps, river banks, and shallow lagoons, it produces massive arrow-shaped evergreen leaves up to 1 meter long, forming impressive pseudo-stems that can reach 4 meters in height. Its cream-colored spathe and spadix inflorescence and large bright-yellow berries make it a truly spectacular specimen plant.
Dutch Elm
Ulmus × hollandica
Ulmus × hollandica, commonly known as the Dutch Elm, is a natural hybrid between the Wych Elm (Ulmus glabra) and the Field Elm (Ulmus minor) that arose spontaneously across Europe wherever the ranges of its two parent species overlap. A large, fast-growing deciduous tree, it was historically planted in vast numbers as a street and canal-side tree throughout the Netherlands and the rest of the Low Countries, prized for its tolerance of urban conditions and its elegant, broadly spreading crown. Its leaves are intermediate in shape between the two parent species, and inconspicuous reddish flowers appear in early spring before the foliage, followed by winged samara fruits. The hybrid became infamous during the 20th century for its role in the Dutch elm disease epidemics, though some clones show moderate resistance and continue to be bred for improved tolerance.
American elm
Ulmus americana
The American elm (Ulmus americana) is a fast-growing, deciduous tree from the elm family (Ulmaceae), originally native to eastern North America. The tree is known for its characteristic vase-shaped crown and can reach heights of up to 24 meters in the wild with a correspondingly wide canopy. From the mid-20th century, Dutch elm disease decimated large portions of the wild population in North America, but disease-resistant cultivars have since been developed. The species produces small, inconspicuous greenish-red flowers in early spring before the leaves emerge, and features coarse, dark green foliage that turns golden in the fall.
Field Elm
Ulmus minor
Ulmus minor, known as the field elm, is a majestic deciduous tree native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It is distinguished by its robust stature, deeply fissured bark in mature specimens, and alternate leaves with a markedly asymmetrical base. It is a keystone species in riparian forests, although its populations have been drastically reduced in recent decades due to Dutch elm disease, a devastating fungal infection.
Amazon Lily Grandiflora
Urceolina × grandiflora
The Amazon Lily Grandiflora (Urceolina × grandiflora, syn. Eucharis grandiflora) is a tropical bulbous plant native to the Andean slopes of Colombia and Peru. It produces clusters of 3–6 fragrant, pure-white flowers resembling daffodils atop elegant stems up to 70 cm tall. It is prized as an ornamental houseplant and a feature of tropical gardens worldwide.
Leafy Bladderwort
Utricularia foliosa
Utricularia foliosa is an aquatic carnivorous plant in the Lentibulariaceae family, native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas and Africa. It floats freely or remains submerged in the still waters of ponds, marshes, and slow-moving rivers, forming dense mats of thin, branched stems that can reach several meters in length. Its filiform leaves, up to 30 cm long, support small bladder-like traps (utricles) that suck in and capture microcrustaceans, mosquito larvae, and other small aquatic invertebrates. During the reproductive period, it produces an erect flower stalk that rises above the water, up to 40 cm high, displaying several yellow flowers similar to small snapdragons.
Rabbiteye Blueberry
Vaccinium ashei
The Rabbiteye Blueberry (Vaccinium ashei) is a deciduous shrub native to the southeastern United States, prized for its exceptional heat and drought tolerance. It produces abundant blue berries in summer and stunning fall foliage in shades of orange and scarlet.
Highbush Blueberry
Vaccinium corymbosum
Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is a deciduous, fruit-bearing shrub native to eastern North America and a member of the Ericaceae (heath) family, related to azaleas and rhododendrons. It is the primary species cultivated commercially for blueberry production worldwide. Plants form upright clumps 1.8-3.7 m tall, with green foliage that turns brilliant red-orange in fall, small white or pink bell-shaped flowers in spring, and sweet, nutrient-dense blue-purple berries in summer.
Bilberry
Vaccinium myrtillus
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a deciduous, low-growing shrub in the Ericaceae family, native to heathlands, moorlands and mountain forests across Europe and northern Asia. It spreads via underground rhizomes, forming dense mats 10-50 cm tall. Small greenish-pink flowers appear in spring, followed by dusky blue-black berries prized in traditional European cuisine and herbal medicine.
Blueberry
Vaccinium sp
Vaccinium sp, commonly known as blueberry, is a genus of flowering shrubs in the Ericaceae family native to North America. These deciduous or semi-evergreen shrubs produce small, sweet, dark blue to purple berries highly prized for their nutritional value and flavor. The genus includes dozens of species adapted to diverse environments, from lowbush varieties in cold northern forests to highbush cultivars in temperate regions. Blueberries are celebrated for their antioxidant-rich berries and ornamental fall foliage.
Montgomery Palm
Veitchia arecina
The Montgomery Palm (Veitchia arecina) is a fast-growing tropical palm native to the islands of Vanuatu in the Melanesian archipelago. Featuring a slender solitary trunk with a distinctive pale green crownshaft and lush pinnate fronds, it is widely prized as an ornamental specimen in tropical and subtropical gardens.
Supplejack
Ventilago
Ventilago is a genus of approximately 40 species of evergreen climbing vines and scandent shrubs in the family Rhamnaceae. Native to tropical South and Southeast Asia, Australasia, Africa, and Madagascar, they bear small greenish-yellow axillary flowers and distinctive single-seeded winged samaras. Some species develop a tree-like form when mature, reaching up to 7 meters.
Black False Hellebore
Veratrum nigrum
Veratrum nigrum, or black false hellebore, is a striking Eurasian perennial in the false-hellebore family (Melanthiaceae), grown for its whorled, pleated foliage and tall summer spikes of star-shaped, near-black flowers. Despite the common name it is not a true hellebore (genus Helleborus) but belongs to a botanically distinct and extremely toxic group of alkaloid-rich plants.
Verbena (genus)
Verbena
Verbena is a genus of flowering plants in the Verbenaceae family, widely grown as annuals or perennials in gardens and containers. They produce abundant blooms in shades of purple, pink, white, and red, and are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Tung Oil Tree
Vernicia fordii
Vernicia fordii, commonly known as the Tung Oil Tree, is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to China. It belongs to the spurge family Euphorbiaceae and has been cultivated for centuries for its seeds, which yield tung oil — a valuable drying oil used in paints, varnishes, and wood finishes. The tree produces beautiful clusters of white to pink flowers with dark purple veining in late winter to early spring, before the leaves emerge. While ornamentally attractive, all parts of the plant are severely toxic.
Guelder Rose
Viburnum opulus
Viburnum opulus, commonly known as Guelder Rose or European Cranberrybush, is a deciduous shrub native to Europe, North Africa, and Central Asia.
