Asiatic Lily
Lilium asiaticum
The Asiatic lily (Lilium asiaticum) is a group of hardy hybrid bulbs in the family Liliaceae, bred from crosses of Asian Lilium species. Unlike many other lilies, they carry little to no noticeable fragrance, but make up for it with the widest color range of any lily group and are usually the first lilies to bloom each year, from late spring into summer. Their upward- or outward-facing flowers span 10-15 cm across, making the plant a favorite for both garden beds and cut-flower arrangements. Asiatic lilies are easy to grow and highly cold-hardy, tolerating temperatures down to about -34°C (-30°F) while dormant (USDA hardiness zones 3-9).

Living stones
Lithops pseudotruncatella
Lithops pseudotruncatella is a succulent from the ice plant family (Aizoaceae), native to the arid, stony regions of Namibia and South Africa. The plant belongs to the group known as "living stones" – its two thick leaves, fused at the base, mimic the color and texture of surrounding pebbles as a form of camouflage against herbivores. Every year, after a period of dormancy, the old pair of leaves withers and is "absorbed" by a new pair emerging between them – a process called molting. In autumn, a single daisy-like flower in yellow or white appears between the leaves. The plant grows very slowly, reaching only 2-5 cm in height, eventually forming small clusters.
Living Stones
Lithops sp
Living Stones (Lithops sp) are fascinating succulents native to southern Africa, renowned for their extraordinary ability to mimic pebbles and rocks in their desert habitat. Belonging to the family Aizoaceae, these miniature marvels evolved thick, fleshy leaf pairs that store water, enabling survival in extreme arid conditions. Standing just 3-5 cm tall, they produce stunning daisy-like flowers in yellow, white, or orange during autumn and winter.
Living Stones
Lithops species
Lithops, known as living stones, are fascinating succulents native to South Africa that have evolved to resemble rocks and pebbles. This natural camouflage protects them from predators in their desert habitat. Each plant consists of two fused leaves with a fissure in the center from which flowers emerge.
Stoneseed / Gromwell (genus)
Lithospermum
Lithospermum is a genus of drought-tolerant herbaceous perennials in the Boraginaceae family, widely distributed across temperate regions of North America, Europe, and Asia.
