Caigua
Cyclanthera pedata
Caigua (Cyclanthera pedata) is a fast-growing annual climbing vine from the Cucurbitaceae family, native to the Andean regions of Peru. Its thin, tendril-bearing stems grow to a length of approximately 4.5 m, with palmately divided leaves measuring 10–12 cm in diameter. Small white-greenish flowers grow in the leaf axils. The light green, slightly curved fruits grow up to 20 cm and have a smooth or finely spiked skin; young fruits are eaten raw, while more mature ones are stuffed.
Split-leaf Cyclanthus
Cyclanthus bipartitus
Cyclanthus bipartitus, known within its family as the "Panama hat plant" (Cyclanthaceae), is a stemless perennial herb native to humid tropical rainforests ranging from southern Mexico and Central America to Venezuela, the Guianas, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and northern Brazil. It typically grows along stream banks and in swampy understory areas, forming dense clumps. Its long leaves (50 to 100 cm or more) are deeply divided in half from the base, resembling a split fan or a fishtail—therefore, despite its palm-like appearance, it is not a true palm. It produces a spadix inflorescence with flowers arranged in discs, orange in color, with a fragrance reminiscent of a blend of cinnamon and vanilla; among Amazonian indigenous peoples, these flowers are used in body adornments.
Quince
Cydonia oblonga
Cydonia oblonga, commonly known as quince, is a deciduous small tree or large shrub in the family Rosaceae. Native to southwest Asia and the Caucasus region, it produces fragrant pinkish-white flowers in spring and large, golden-yellow, pear-shaped aromatic fruits in autumn. One of the oldest cultivated fruits, quince has been grown for thousands of years for its culinary and medicinal properties.
Cymbidium orchid
Cymbidium
The Cymbidium genus comprises orchids highly valued for their lush flowers and flower spikes that can last up to ten weeks. Unlike many tropical orchids, Cymbidiums prefer cooler climates and are known as cool-climate orchids. They feature oval pseudobulbs and long, strap-shaped leaves that remain green year-round.
Indian Boat Orchid
Cymbidium aloifolium
Cymbidium aloifolium, commonly known as the Indian Boat Orchid or Aloe-leafed Cymbidium, is an epiphytic orchid native to tropical and subtropical forests of Asia, including India, China, and Southeast Asia. It features stiff, strap-like leaves resembling aloe foliage and produces graceful arching flower spikes with cream, pale yellow, and maroon-striped blooms.
Boat Orchid
Cymbidium hybridum
Cymbidium hybridum refers to the vast group of cultivated Cymbidium hybrids (Orchidaceae) bred over more than a century from wild Asian and Australian species. These evergreen, terrestrial-to-epiphytic orchids form clumps of pseudobulbs topped with long, strap-shaped leaves, and in late winter to spring they send up sturdy arching spikes carrying a dozen or more long-lasting, waxy flowers. Modern hybrids range from miniature to large-flowered types, in shades of white, green, yellow, pink, red, cream and near-brown, often with a contrasting spotted lip. Prized as houseplants, patio specimens in mild climates, and cut flowers, boat orchids reward growers with cool nights and bright light with months of bloom.
Egyptian Papyrus
Cyperus papyrus
Cyperus papyrus, commonly known as Egyptian Papyrus or Paper Reed, is a majestic semi-aquatic plant native to the banks of the Nile River in northeastern Africa. Its tall, triangular stems can reach up to 16 feet (5 meters) in height, topped with feathery, umbrella-like clusters of thread-fine rays. One of the most historically significant plants in human civilization, it was the source of the world's first paper. Today it thrives in water gardens, ponds, and large containers.
Garden Carrot
Daucus carota subsp. sativus
The garden carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is one of the world's most widely grown root vegetables, descended from the wild Eurasian carrot. Belonging to the Apiaceae family, it is prized for its sweet, nutrient-dense taproot rich in beta-carotene. A biennial grown as an annual, it produces feathery foliage and white umbel flowers in its second year.

Davallia canariensis
Davallia canariensis, commonly known as the Hare's-foot Fern or Deer's-foot Fern, is a captivating epiphytic fern native to the Canary Islands and the Iberian Peninsula. Its most distinctive feature is the thick, furry rhizomes covered in reddish-brown scales that creep over the edge of the pot, resembling the fuzzy feet of a hare. The finely divided, triangular fronds create a lush, cascading display, making it an exceptional choice for hanging baskets and decorative arrangements.
White Rabbit's Foot Fern
Davallia griffithiana
Davallia griffithiana is an epiphytic fern native to China and Southeast Asia, prized for its long, creeping white furry rhizomes that resemble a rabbit's foot. The delicate, finely cut bright-green fronds create a lush, cascading display perfect for hanging baskets. It is non-toxic and well-suited as an indoor houseplant in humid, warm environments.
Dog-tail Cactus
Deamia testudo
Deamia testudo, known as the Dog-tail Cactus, is an epiphytic and climbing cactus native to the tropical forests of Central America and northern South America, from Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela.

It produces long, cane-like deciduous pseudobulbs adorned with fragrant flowers in shades of pink, white, and lavender-purple, blooming profusely in spring. Despite the misleading epithet "anosmum" (odorless), most plants emit a delightfully sweet fragrance.
Hooded Orchid
Dendrobium aphyllum
Dendrobium aphyllum, commonly known as the Hooded Orchid, is a deciduous epiphytic orchid native to Southeast Asia, from India to Vietnam. It produces elegant, pendulous canes that shed their leaves during dormancy, then burst into bloom with delicate pinkish-violet and white fragrant flowers every spring. Its dramatic seasonal cycle makes it a prized specimen for intermediate to warm orchid growers.

It grows up to 12 meters tall, forming a spreading crown with paripinnate, leathery leaves. Small, yellowish-white flowers appear in spring in abundant panicles and are faintly aromatic. The fruits—round, with a brown, brittle skin—contain a translucent, sweet pulp surrounding a single shiny, dark brown seed, resembling an eye. Longan is closely related to lychee and rambutan. It is primarily cultivated in China, Thailand, Vietnam, and other tropical countries for its delicious fruits, timber, and numerous medicinal uses.

Native to arid regions of East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, including Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman, it is prized by collectors for its swollen water-storing caudex and uniquely bizarre hypanthodium inflorescences — flat, disc- or shield-shaped structures that serve as composite flower heads.

Its narrow leaves repeatedly split into Y- or fork-shaped segments, each covered in red glandular hairs that secrete glistening, sticky mucilage to trap and digest small insects. In spring and summer it sends up tall flower stalks topped with clusters of small white blooms, held well above the sticky foliage so pollinators are not caught.
Greene's Liveforever
Dudleya greenei
Dudleya greenei, commonly known as Greene's Liveforever or Greene's Dudleya, is a rare succulent endemic to the Channel Islands of California. It forms striking silvery-white powdery rosettes that grow close to the ground, giving it the nickname "chalk lettuce." This slow-growing evergreen is threatened in the wild due to habitat loss and illegal collection, making it a protected species. Its fleshy, glaucous leaves are coated in a natural white powder (farina) that reflects harsh sunlight and helps retain moisture.
Chalk Dudleya
Dudleya pulverulenta
Chalk Dudleya (Dudleya pulverulenta) is a striking rosette succulent native to Southern California and Baja California. Its broad silvery-white leaves are coated in a chalky wax (farina) that reflects intense sun, and in spring tall arching red stalks carry tubular red-to-yellow flowers loved by hummingbirds. Rosettes can reach 30 cm or more across.
Dypsis Palm
Dypsis
Dypsis is a large genus of feather palms native almost entirely to Madagascar, comprising more than 150 species that range from small understory clustering palms to towering forest giants. The best-known member, Dypsis lutescens (the areca palm), is one of the world's most popular houseplants thanks to its graceful, arching, multi-caned fronds and easygoing nature indoors. As a genus, Dypsis palms share a preference for warm, humid, well-lit conditions reminiscent of their tropical Madagascan origins.
