Little White Soldiers
Drimiopsis maculata
Drimiopsis maculata is a small bulbous plant native to eastern South Africa, admired for its oval leaves adorned with dark spots. It is one of the most resilient and adaptable houseplants, tolerating low light and short dry spells with ease.
Winter's Bark
Drimys winteri
Drimys winteri, known as Winter's bark, canelo or foye, is an evergreen tree in the Winteraceae, an ancient family related to the magnolias. It is native to Chile, from the Limarí River to Cape Horn, and to Andean Patagonia in Argentina down to Tierra del Fuego, growing from sea level to about 1,700 m, often beside streams, lakes and wetlands. In gardens it usually forms a tree or multi-stemmed shrub around 7-8 m tall, while wild trees reach 15-20 m. The leathery, glossy green leaves are 6-20 cm long and whitish underneath, and smell peppery when crushed. The aromatic bark is reddish brown. Clusters of fragrant, jasmine-scented, creamy-white flowers with red sepals open mainly in late spring and early summer, followed by small bluish to purple-black berries.
Rosea Iceplant
Drosanthemum floribundum
Drosanthemum floribundum is a fast-growing South African succulent groundcover covered in shimmering, daisy-like pink-purple flowers in spring and summer. Its low, trailing stems form a dense mat ideal for slopes, borders, and erosion control in dry landscapes.
Sundew (genus)
Drosera
Drosera, commonly known as sundews, is one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, with over 190 species found on every continent except Antarctica. They trap insects using sticky, glistening tentacles tipped with mucilaginous glands that resemble dewdrops in sunlight.
Alice sundew
Drosera aliciae
A small carnivorous plant from the Cape region of South Africa and one of the most widely grown sundews. It forms a low rosette about 5 cm across, with spoon-shaped leaves covered in red hairs, each tipped with a sticky drop. The drops trap gnats and other small insects, which the leaf then digests. The more light it gets, the redder it turns. In summer it sends up thin stalks 30 to 40 cm tall with pink flowers, held well away from the leaves so pollinators don't get caught.
Fork-leaved Sundew
Drosera binata
Drosera binata, known as the fork-leaved or forked sundew, is a carnivorous perennial in the family Droseraceae, native to boggy heathlands and wetlands of southeastern Australia and New Zealand. 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.
Cape Sundew
Drosera capensis
Drosera capensis, or Cape Sundew, is a carnivorous perennial native to the fynbos wetlands of the Western Cape, South Africa. Its narrow, strap-shaped leaves are covered in reddish tentacles tipped with sparkling, sticky mucilage that lure, trap, and digest small insects, supplying the plant with nitrogen and phosphorus that its nutrient-poor native soil lacks. Prized by beginners for its resilience and rapid growth, it produces small pink, self-pollinating flowers on tall stalks and readily self-seeds, often popping up as a friendly weed in other carnivorous plant pots.
Spoon-leaved sundew
Drosera spatulata
Drosera spatulata, commonly known as the spoon-leaved sundew, is a small carnivorous plant native to Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, and Southeast Asia. It forms a compact rosette of spoon-shaped leaves covered in red, dew-tipped tentacles that glisten to attract, trap, and digest small insects such as fruit flies and fungus gnats. It is widely regarded as one of the easiest sundews to grow, making it a favorite starter plant for carnivorous plant beginners.
Green Fleshy Tree Orchid
Drymoanthus adversus
Drymoanthus adversus, commonly known as the Green Fleshy Tree Orchid, is a miniature epiphytic orchid endemic to New Zealand. It grows attached to tree trunks and branches in coastal to montane forests, forming compact tufts of dark green, fleshy leaves sometimes spotted with purple. In spring and early summer it produces small racemes of greenish-white flowers flecked with red.
Wood Fern
Dryopteris
Dryopteris is a genus of robust and elegant ferns, commonly known as wood ferns. They are characterized by their bipinnate fronds that grow in a crown-like formation, providing a lush and architectural look. Native to temperate and tropical regions, they are perfect for shade gardens or as indoor plants in high-humidity environments.
Autumn Fern
Dryopteris erythrosora
Dryopteris erythrosora is a fern in the wood fern family (Dryopteridaceae), native to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It forms a vase-shaped clump 45 to 75 cm tall and up to 90 cm wide. New fronds unfurl coppery to brick pink and age to glossy dark green, so the plant shows several colors at once. Under young fronds, the spore clusters have bright red covers. It is semi-evergreen: green all year in mild climates, while in cold winters the fronds may die back.
Male Fern
Dryopteris filix-mas
The male fern (Dryopteris filix-mas) is a hardy, deciduous fern native to temperate regions of Europe and North America. It forms an upright, shuttlecock-shaped clump of long, lance-shaped, bipinnate fronds in medium green. It is one of the easiest garden ferns to grow, tolerating dense shade and poor soils, and holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Liveforever
Dudleya
Dudleya is a genus of rosette-forming succulents native to the coastal bluffs, cliffs, and rocky outcrops of California, Arizona, Baja California, and Guadalupe Island. Often called liveforevers for their remarkable longevity, the roughly 70 species and countless cultivars share a striking feature: a powdery white coating called farina that covers the leaves like natural sunscreen, protecting the plant from intense coastal sun and reducing water loss. Species such as D. brittonii and D. pulverulenta form dramatic silver-white rosettes up to 30-50 cm across, sometimes held on short woody stems. Unlike many other succulents, Dudleya cannot be propagated from a single leaf; plants grow from offsets, division, or seed. Their most distinctive habit is summer dormancy: in their native Mediterranean climate, Dudleya grow actively through the cool, wet winter and spring, then rest through the hot, dry summer, when they should receive little to no water. Handling the leaves removes the farina permanently, leaving unsightly marks and exposing tissue to sunburn, so these plants are best admired without touching.
Fingertips
Dudleya edulis
Dudleya edulis, commonly called fingertips or mission lettuce, is a compact succulent native to the coastal sage scrub, sandstone sea cliffs, and rocky canyons of Southern California and northern Baja California. Its pale green, finger-shaped leaves grow upright in tight clumping rosettes, often dusted with a chalky white coating called farina that reflects intense coastal sun and reduces water loss. In late spring and summer, tall branching stalks rise well above the foliage, bearing clusters of small white to cream flowers. True to its species name -- edulis, meaning edible -- its tender young leaves and flower stalks were traditionally harvested and eaten raw by the Kumeyaay people. A tough, low-maintenance succulent, it thrives in full coastal sun to light inland shade and needs very little water once established, entering a semi-dormant rest through the hottest, driest part of summer.
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.
Golden Dewdrop
Duranta erecta
Golden Dewdrop (Duranta erecta) is a fast-growing tropical shrub from the Verbenaceae family, native to the tropical Americas. Celebrated for its cascading clusters of blue, lavender, or white flowers and ornamental golden berries, it is widely used in tropical gardens, hedges, and landscaping. It can reach up to 6 meters in height and thrives in warm, sunny climates.
Golden Dewdrop
Duranta erecta aurea
Duranta erecta aurea is a stunning tropical shrub with golden-yellow foliage native to the tropical Americas. It produces small lilac or white flowers in pendant clusters, followed by ornamental orange-yellow berries. Its golden-yellow foliage brightens tropical and subtropical gardens year-round, making it popular as a hedge, border plant, or container specimen.
Durian
Durio zibethinus
Durio zibethinus, the durian, is a massive evergreen tree native to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra, now cultivated across Southeast Asia. Nicknamed the "King of Fruits," it produces a large, thorn-covered fruit with a famously pungent aroma and rich, custard-like flesh. The tree can reach 25-40 m in height and needs a decade or more before its first harvest. Durian is notoriously vulnerable to Phytophthora palmivora, which causes patch canker, root rot and fruit rot, making orchard drainage and sanitation critical. Folklore warns against eating durian with alcohol; laboratory studies have since shown durian extract inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase, lending some credibility to the old belief.
Dyckia
Dyckia
Dyckia is a genus of roughly 160 terrestrial bromeliad species native to rocky, sun-baked outcrops in South America. Unlike their tree-dwelling epiphyte cousins, Dyckias grow in the ground or among rocks, forming tight, spiny succulent-like rosettes of stiff, leathery leaves. They are prized by xeriscape and succulent gardeners for their striking architectural form and extreme drought tolerance.
Sawblade Dyckia
Dyckia brevifolia
Dyckia brevifolia, commonly called sawblade dyckia or pineapple dyckia, is a compact succulent bromeliad native to the rocky riverbanks of the Itajaí-Açu River in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. It forms dense, low rosettes of stiff, grayish-green to bronze leaves edged with sharp, saw-like teeth, an adaptation that gives the species its common name. As a rheophyte, it grows directly on rocks along fast-flowing rivers subject to periodic flooding, making it exceptionally drought- and sun-tolerant. In late spring to early summer it sends up flower spikes bearing small yellow-orange blooms. Due to habitat pressure along its native river system, wild populations are considered threatened.
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.
