Gentian
Gentiana
Gentiana is a large genus of roughly 400 flowering plant species in the Gentianaceae family, prized for their intensely blue, trumpet- or bell-shaped blooms. Native to alpine meadows, mountain slopes and cool temperate grasslands across Europe, Asia, the Americas and East Africa, gentians range from tiny cushion-forming alpines only a few centimeters tall to taller woodland species over a metre high. They are cool-climate perennials that thrive in humus-rich, well-drained soil and struggle in hot, humid summers. Long cultivated in rock gardens and used medicinally (gentian root is a classic bittering agent), the genus is celebrated for its vivid color and resilience in harsh mountain conditions.
Pygmy Gentian
Gentiana prostrata
Pygmy gentian (Gentiana prostrata) is a tiny alpine and arctic herb in the gentian family, forming loose cushions of prostrate to erect stems just 1-10 cm tall. Its small oval leaves hug the ground, and each stem bears a single, tubular, light blue flower with four spreading lobes that only fully opens under strong midday sun, twisting closed when shaded, touched or cloudy. Widely distributed across the alpine and subalpine zones of Eurasia, North America and the Andes, it grows in bogs, moist meadows, snowmelt-fed tundra and gravelly rock ledges, flowering from June to August depending on elevation.
Geonoma Palm
Geonoma
Geonoma is a genus of small, delicate palms that grow in the shaded understory of tropical Central and South American rainforests. With finely textured pinnate fronds and slender stems, they form elegant clumps that rarely exceed a few meters in height, adapted to life beneath the dense forest canopy.
Cedar Cup
Geopora sumneriana
Geopora sumneriana, commonly known as the Cedar Cup, is an ascomycete fungus that forms a strictly mycorrhizal symbiotic relationship with trees of the genus Cedrus. The fruiting body begins its development underground, emerging in spring as a hollow sphere that breaks open into a cup or star shape, revealing a smooth, cream-colored interior, while the exterior is densely covered with brownish hairs.
Cranesbill
Geranium
Geranium (cranesbill) is a large genus of about 430 species of flowering perennials and annuals in the family Geraniaceae. Unlike the tender Pelargonium commonly sold as "geranium" in shops, true Geraniums are hardy perennials that die back in winter and reliably regrow each spring. They are beloved in temperate gardens for their delicate saucer-shaped flowers in shades of blue, purple, pink and white, and their attractive deeply-lobed foliage that often turns vivid shades in autumn. Cranesbills are remarkably adaptable, thriving in sun or partial shade and a wide range of soil types.
Dove's-foot Crane's-bill
Geranium molle
Dove's-foot crane's-bill is a low-growing annual (occasionally biennial) wildflower in the Geraniaceae family, native to the Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean regions and now naturalized across much of Europe, North Africa, temperate Asia and North America. It forms a soft, hairy, branching mat of grey-green, deeply lobed leaves topped with small pink to purple-pink flowers with notched petals, blooming from April to September. It thrives in dry meadows, hedgebanks, lawns and disturbed, nutrient-poor ground, readily self-seeding.
Meadow Crane's-bill
Geranium pratense

White Avens
Geum canadense
White avens is a native North American woodland perennial in the rose family, forming low clumps of semi-evergreen, lobed foliage. From late spring into early summer it sends up wiry stems tipped with small, five-petaled white flowers that draw in bees and other pollinators. Once flowering ends, the seed heads develop hooked bristles that cling readily to fur and clothing, aiding seed dispersal. It spreads gently as a shade-tolerant ground cover in woodland gardens and naturalized borders.
Largeleaf Avens
Geum macrophyllum
Geum macrophyllum, or largeleaf avens, is a herbaceous perennial in the rose family (Rosaceae) native to North America, Kamchatka, and Japan. It forms a basal rosette of long-stalked, pinnately compound leaves with a large, rounded terminal lobe and smaller toothed leaflets beneath. From spring to summer, branching stems 30-100 cm tall carry small, five-petaled yellow flowers with numerous stamens, followed by distinctive bur-like seed heads whose hooked, reddish styles catch on fur and clothing to aid dispersal. It grows in moist woods, meadows, streambanks, and disturbed damp ground from low to subalpine elevations, ranging from Alaska south to California and Mexico, east across Canada and the northern United States.
Wood Avens
Geum urbanum
Wood Avens (Geum urbanum) is a herbaceous perennial in the Rosaceae family, native to the temperate regions of Europe and Asia. It grows naturally along woodland edges, hedgerows, and shaded, moist ground, reaching up to 60 cm in height. It produces glossy compound basal leaves and small five-petaled yellow flowers from May through August. When cut, the root releases a clove-like scent due to its eugenol content, earning it the folk name "Clove Root." Historically it was one of the most valued medicinal herbs in medieval Europe, used as a digestive tonic and in herbal infusions.
Tahitian Bridal Veil
Gibasis geniculata
Gibasis geniculata is an evergreen perennial from the Commelinaceae family (spiderworts), native to tropical America (from Mexico to northern South America), where it grows as a groundcover in moist, shady habitats. It is grown as a very popular hanging houseplant due to its dense, fleshy shoots with small dark green leaves and tiny white three-petaled flowers, resembling a lacy veil, which gives it its name. It grows quickly and spreads easily, and is considered an invasive species in some tropical regions.
