Dipcadi (Dipcadi)
It is widely distributed occurring in southern Europe most of Africa and the Middle East through to the Indian subcontinent. Species of dipcadi grow from small bulbs. The solitary flower stem (scape) bears a loose raceme of green or brown flowers sometimes with different colours at the tips of the three inner tepals. The black seeds are in the shape of a disc or a flattened globe. As of spring 2013 the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families recognized 41 species and one hybrid.

How to Grow and Care for Dipcadi
Feedback
Dipcadi are bulbous plants typically found in regions with a Mediterranean climate. They require well-drained soil and a sunny location for optimal growth. Basic care needs involve watering sparingly as dipcadi prefers dry conditions, especially during dormant periods. Dipcadi can be sensitive to overwatering and fungal diseases, making proper soil and moisture management crucial. Seasonally, dipcadi requires less water in winter and may benefit from a dry, sheltered location to protect the bulbs. During active growth in spring and summer, maintaining a consistent but moderate watering schedule is essential, and providing additional support such as mulching can help regulate soil temperature and moisture levels.

6 most common species：
Brown bluebell
Brown bluebell (Dipcadi serotinum) is an unusual bulbous flowering plant that is named for its peculiar brown flowers. Despite this unshowy flower, this plant is sometimes grown ornamentally by bulbous plant specialists. Brown bluebell flowers sporadically in its native Mediterranean habitat.
Dipcadi ciliare
Dipcadi ciliare is a bulbous perennial with grass-like leaves and a unique flowering spike. Each year, it unfurls a narrow raceme adorned with bell-shaped blooms, each edged with delicate fringes suggesting a whimsical, eyelash-like appearance. Thriving in arid regions, dipcadi ciliare's robust bulb stores water, enabling it to endure dry spells. Its muted green tonality allows for subtle camouflage within its natural sandy environments.
Dipcadi crispum
Dipcadi crispum is a bulbous perennial with a slender stem and grass-like leaves. It is distinguished by its nodding, bell-shaped flowers with crispy, wavy edges, usually blooming in a soft purple hue. The plant thrives in arid habitats, its bulb enabling survival through dry spells. Dipcadi crispum’s unique flower shape and leaf texture provide a distinct silhouette against the rugged landscape.
Dainty green bells
Dainty green bells is a perennial bulbous plant with slender, upright stems crowned by a raceme of bell-shaped, greenish-yellow flowers, which contrast strikingly against the dry habitats it often frequents. Adapted to sparse, sometimes rocky soils, dainty green bells's growth cycle aligns with the seasonal rains, maximizing its reproductive success in challenging conditions.
Green bells
Green bells is a perennial bulbous plant notable for its slender, erect flowering stems and bell-shaped, purplish-brown flowers. The vegetation is adapted to dry environments, often found in rocky areas, with a sparse, lance-shaped leaf arrangement that minimizes water loss. Its striking bloom emerges in the warmer season, standing out in its native arid landscapes.
Dipcadi brevifolium
Dipcadi brevifolium is a modest yet striking perennial herb, typically found in dry, rocky terrains where it displays remarkable resilience. It features a rosette of short, fleshy leaves and in late winter to spring, it sends up slender, erect flower spikes. The bell-shaped, greenish to brownish-purple flowers make dipcadi brevifolium distinctive, with their downturned tips accentuating the plant's delicate charm.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
