Elephant bush
Portulacaria afra
Portulacaria afra, commonly known as Elephant Bush or Spekboom, is a succulent shrub native to South Africa. It features small, fleshy, emerald-green leaves on attractive reddish-brown stems. In its natural habitat, it can grow into a large shrub or small tree, but it is frequently used as a bonsai or indoor plant. It is renowned for its exceptional ability to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making it an environmentally significant species.
Broad-leaved Pondweed
Potamogeton natans
Potamogeton natans, also known as broad-leaved pondweed, is a perennial aquatic plant that produces oval, leathery, olive-green floating leaves. Its submerged leaves are narrow and translucent, often disappearing as the plant matures. It is a fundamental species for freshwater ecosystems, providing shelter for fish and oxygenating the water.
yellow-flowered strawberry
Potentilla indica
Potentilla indica, commonly known as mock strawberry or Indian strawberry, is a perennial herbaceous plant that closely resembles true strawberries. It is distinguished by its five-petaled yellow flowers and red, bumpy fruit that points upward. While the fruit is edible, it is generally considered flavorless or watery. It spreads aggressively through stolons (runners), making it a highly effective, though sometimes invasive, ground cover.
Beautiful Cinquefoil
Potentilla pulcherrima
Potentilla pulcherrima, commonly known as Beautiful Cinquefoil, is a native North American perennial wildflower in the rose family (Rosaceae). It produces cheerful yellow five-petalled flowers from spring through fall and features distinctive silvery-white leaf undersides. Highly cold-hardy and drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in rocky meadows, alpine slopes, and open woodlands across Canada and the western United States.
Creeping Cinquefoil
Potentilla reptans
Creeping cinquefoil (Potentilla reptans) is a low-growing perennial in the rose family, native to Europe, western Asia and North Africa. Its trailing stems root at every node, forming dense mats of five-fingered leaflets studded with bright yellow, five-petaled flowers from June to September. Equally at home as a groundcover or a persistent lawn weed, it thrives almost anywhere with a little sun.
Pothos
Pothos
Pothos is one of the most popular and forgiving houseplants in the world, prized for its trailing vines and heart-shaped, often variegated leaves. In everyday use the name "pothos" almost always refers to Epipremnum aureum (golden pothos), a fast-growing tropical vine native to the Solomon Islands. The name stuck from an old classification: the plant was first described in 1880 as Pothos aureus, and even after botanists moved it into the genus Epipremnum in 1964, the common name never went away. It tolerates low light, irregular watering, and general neglect better than almost any other houseplant, making it a favorite for beginners and offices alike.
Abiu

The abiu (Pouteria caimito) is a tropical evergreen fruit tree in the Sapotaceae family, native to the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon basin. When cultivated, it reaches 4 to 10 meters in height, featuring a dense canopy and dark green leaves. It produces fragrant yellowish-white flowers between December and January, followed by smooth, oval fruits that ripen to a golden-yellow hue. The pulp is translucent with a pudding-like consistency and a sweet flavor reminiscent of caramel; the unripe fruit contains an irritating latex that disappears upon ripening.
Premna
Premna
Premna is a genus of tropical shrubs and small trees in the family Lamiaceae, native to Asia, Africa, and Oceania. It is prized in Asia — especially P. microphylla and P. serratifolia — as a bonsai subject and hedge plant, valued for its dense foliage and fast growth.

It thrives in cool, bright indirect light conditions, making it an excellent windowsill plant during the cooler months.
Common primrose
Primula vulgaris
Primula vulgaris, the common primrose, is a low-growing herbaceous perennial native to western and southern Europe. It forms a basal rosette of wrinkled, dark green leaves and produces solitary, pale yellow flowers with a deeper yellow eye, among the earliest blooms of late winter and early spring.
Polyanthus Primrose
Primula x polyantha
Primula x polyantha, commonly known as the Polyanthus Primrose, is a charming European hybrid resulting from crosses between Primula veris (cowslip) and Primula vulgaris (common primrose).

It reaches between 4 and 9 meters in height, featuring a wide, spreading crown, a short trunk, and branches armed with thorns. In spring and summer, it produces dense clusters of highly fragrant greenish-yellow flowers, followed by elongated, flat pods that ripen in late summer. Thanks to its taproot, capable of reaching dozens of meters deep in search of water, and its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, it is an extremely drought-resistant species and fundamental to desert ecosystems.
King Protea
Protea cynaroides
Protea cynaroides, the King Protea, is an evergreen shrub native to the fynbos of South Africa's Western and Southern Cape, where it thrives in nutrient-poor, well-drained sandy soils under a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. It produces the largest flower head in the genus - a goblet-shaped inflorescence of tightly packed silky florets ringed by large, stiff bracts that range from creamy white to deep crimson, with soft silvery pink being the most prized form. Below the flowers, the plant carries tough, leathery, dark green leaves adapted to withstand drought and wind. Slow-growing and long-lived, it resprouts vigorously from a woody underground rootstock after wildfires, a trait central to its status as South Africa's national flower.
Oleander-leaf protea
Protea neriifolia
Protea neriifolia, commonly known as the Oleander-leaf protea, is a majestic evergreen shrub native to South Africa. It is famous for its cup-shaped inflorescences, composed of colorful bracts ranging from soft pink to cream, ending in distinct velvety black tips.

Almond
Prunus dulcis
Prunus dulcis, commonly known as the almond, is a deciduous tree native to the Middle East and South Asia, now widely cultivated across Mediterranean climates for its edible seed. It bursts into pale pink-and-white blossom in late winter before its narrow leaves emerge, one of the earliest trees to flower each year. Grown as an orchard or ornamental tree, it needs a hot, dry summer and a cold winter dormancy to fruit well. Two forms exist: the sweet almond (var. dulcis), prized for its edible kernel, and the bitter almond (var. amara), whose seeds contain amygdalin and are toxic unless processed.
Damson
Prunus insititia

Cherry laurel
Prunus laurocerasus
Prunus laurocerasus, commonly known as Cherry Laurel, is a vigorous, large evergreen shrub or small tree. It is widely appreciated for its dense growth habit and glossy, leathery dark green leaves, making it an ideal choice for privacy hedges. In mid-spring, it produces upright spikes of small, fragrant white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by small, cherry-like fruits that ripen to black. It is exceptionally hardy and can tolerate significant urban pollution and heavy shade.
Portuguese Laurel

Mahaleb cherry (Prunus mahaleb) is a deciduous tree or shrub in the Rosaceae family, native to central and southern Europe, northwest Africa, and western Asia. It typically grows 2-10 m tall, with grey-brown bark marked by conspicuous lenticels. Small, rounded, serrated leaves accompany fragrant white flowers borne in short racemes in mid-spring. The small drupes ripen from green to red to dark purple-black and are very bitter, rarely eaten fresh — but the roasted, ground kernels yield mahlab (mahlepe), a fragrant spice widely used in Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern breads and pastries. The species is also the classic cherry rootstock, prized for its hardiness and tolerance of dry, calcareous soils.
Bird Cherry

Its serrated leaves emerge after the flowers and take on bronze tones before turning green, eventually becoming yellow or reddish in the fall.
Blackthorn
Prunus spinosa
Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) is a dense, thorny deciduous shrub native to Europe, western Asia and northwest Africa.
