8 most common species:
Microseris lindleyi
Lindleys silverpuffs
lindleys silverpuffs are wildflowers admired for their unique appearance and silvery pappus. These annual herbs are attractive to pollinators and can be observed during the spring in alpine areas. The common name Microseris lindleyi honors the British botanist professor John Lindley.
Microseris nutans
Nodding microseris
The plant is variable in appearance. In general, it is a perennial herb growing up to 70 centimeters tall with a branching stem. The plentiful leaves are up to 30 centimeters in length and generally toothed or lobed along the edges. The somewhat hairy inflorescence is borne on an erect or upright peduncle. The often nodding flower head contains up to 50 yellow ray florets.
Microseris lanceolata
Yam daisy
Yam daisy is a delightful little wildflower that dons a yellow mane of blossom in late winter to early summer, truly nature's daring calendar against the seasons. Popular with naissance bee colonies for its rich pollen, it has also found a modestly intriguing place in the kitchens of Australia's indigenous people, who revere the plant for its young sweet, crisp and nutty flavored roots.
Microseris scapigera
Yam daisy
Yam daisy is a perennial herb distinguished by its rosette of long, narrow leaves and solitary flower heads on leafless stalks. These yellow flowers resemble dandelions and bloom in spring. Its tufted growth adapts well to open grasslands and light forests, suggesting a resilience to various light conditions. Seed dispersal by wind aids its proliferation across landscapes.
Microseris douglasii
Douglas' silverpuffs
You will find douglas' silverpuffs growing over clay and serpentine soils in the grasslands and wetlands of western North America. The plant is named in honor of Scottish botanist David Douglas (1799–1834). This plant has a variable form but appears most commonly as an annual herb with a height of between 5 centimeters and 50 centimeters.
Microseris troximoides
Microseris troximoides
Microseris troximoides is a perennial herb notable for its rosette of long, narrow leaves and tall, stem-mounted flower heads. Resembling dandelions, its yellow blooms are adapted for pollination by insects. Thriving in open, grassy environments, microseris troximoides has deep taproots allowing it to access water in arid conditions, an adaptation critical for its survival in such ecosystems.
Microseris borealis
Northern microseris
Northern microseris is a perennial herb with a rosette of narrow, lance-shaped leaves. Its distinct, dandelion-like yellow flower heads bloom on tall, slender stalks, rising amidst grassy landscapes. Adapted to cooler northern climates, the resilient northern microseris thrives in well-drained soils and open woodlands, attracting pollinators with its bright blossoms that close by afternoon.
Microseris laciniata
Cutleaf silverpuffs
Cutleaf silverpuffs is a perennial herb with deeply lobed leaves forming a basal rosette. This distinctive foliage often lies flat, adapting to open grasslands and meadows where it grows. In spring, tall, slender stalks rise, topped with yellow, dandelion-like flowers that attract various pollinators. As a survivor in diverse climates, cutleaf silverpuffs's taproot enables resilience to drought, securing its place in the ecosystem.

Dracaena
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.
Ficus
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.
Rubus
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.
Acer
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
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.
Solanum
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.
Rosa
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.
Quercus
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.
