8 most common species：
Maculigilia
Cobaea
Cobaea is a genus of flowering plants including about 20 species of rapid growing, ornamental climbers native to Mexico. The woody stems can reach 6 m. Leaves are alternate lobed with opposite pairs and tendrils. In late summer to early spring, the large, bell-shaped flowers are borne profusely and singly along the stems with bright green, violet, or purple in colors.
Bristly Langloisia
Bristly Langloisia has only one species. It is native to the western United States. It is an annual plant, growing to 4 to 20 cm tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, linear, densely bristly and with a toothed margin. The flowers are white to light blue or pale purple in color, with a deeply five-lobed corolla.
Linanthus
Linanthus are flowering plants that grow in the Americas. These plants are characterized by bunches of multiple branches that stem directly from the base of the plant, then lead to the flowers. Some linanthus can have trouble reproducing due to pollinators distributing the wrong type of pollen on the plant. The scientific name 'Linanthus' is derived from the Greek word for "flax flower" because the flowers resemble those from the flax plant.
Gilia
Gilia is an intriguing plant with a rich history. Its delicate flowers have captivated garden enthusiasts for centuries. This plant's unique feature is its ability to attract a wide variety of insects and birds, making it a valuable addition to any garden ecosystem. Its vibrant blooms appear during the summer months, creating a colorful display in meadows and wildflower habitats. It is truly a remarkable plant that adds beauty and interest to any landscape.
Giliastrum
Trumpets
Trumpets are a genus native to North and South America notable by their trumpet-shaped flowers. It's no wonder, then, how they got their common name "Trumpets"! The seeds of these plants become a gel-like texture when wet. The genus name Collomia derives from the Greek word "kolla" for glue, in reference to the wet, sticky seeds.

Leptosiphon
Leptosiphon
Leptosiphon are a genus of flowering plants that includes both wildflowers and several species that are grown as ornamentals. Several are important host plants for insects, including the Buckwheat Borer moth. A few are listed as critically endangered, largely due to habitat loss.
Saltugilia
Saltugilia
Navarretia
Navarretia
Navarretia are flowering plants that are known for their physical resemblance to a pincushion. The flower-bearing portion of these native North American plants is covered in spikes that fan out to resemble pins emerging from a round ball. They are known to be central parts of the ecosystem within vernal pools, which are seasonal pools that form within drier landscapes and provide places where other organisms gather and interact.
Bonplandia
Bonplandia
Cantua
Cantua
Cantua is a genus of flowering plants in the family Polemoniaceae which is in the order Ericales. There are currently about 12 species. They are restricted to central South America where many species are endemics in the countries of occurrence.

Woollystars
Woollystars
Woollystars is a genus of flowering plants in the phlox family. These wildflowers are somewhat diverse in appearance but are usually erect, thin-stemmed herbs which bear purple to white blooms.

Jacob's ladders
Jacob's ladders
Offering up to twenty leaflets, this plant was named Jacob's ladder after the ladder that biblical figure Jacob dreamed of. It produces vibrant cup-shaped flowers that do well in borders, rock gardens, and woodlands. The jacob's ladders are native alongside the streams of forests in North America. There it attracts pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds.
Phloxes
Phloxes
The phloxes are a group of hardy, flowering plants that will be familiar to many gardeners. With many species bearing showy flowers and being very cold-tolerant (many are naturally found in high alpine environments or at very high latitudes), phloxes are very popular ornamentals, and there are dozens of garden cultivars. Phloxes are also noteworthy for being particularly attractive to butterflies – for this reason, they're often a staple in temperate pollinator gardens.

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.
