Staghorn ferns
Staghorn ferns
Staghorn ferns or elkhorn ferns are named for the interesting curved shape of their fronds that recall antlers. They grow very slowly but reach enormous sizes. As a houseplant, they can live for decades with the right care. They are mounted on wooden boards and hung on a wall, which mimics their natural growing pattern from trees.
Snakeferns
Snakeferns
Polypodies
Polypodies
Polypodies are creeping ferns that grow on the ground or over trees and rocks, each frond sprouting separately from their rhizome as it grows. The scientific name Polypodium is based on the Greek words for "many feet", which comes from the creeping rhizome's many branches. Several species have been domesticated for use as ornamentals and potted plants.
Strapfern

Phymatosorus
Phymatosorus
Unlike some ferns, which grow from roots, phymatosorus grow from a long, creeping rhizome. Phymatosorus occur throughout tropical regions, where they grow as terrestrial species (on the ground) or epiphytes (supporting themselves on wood or other plants), while some of them are able to thrive on rocks in fast-moving water currents.

Scaly polypody
Scaly polypody
Scaly polypody are most often found growing on live trees as epiphytes, although they can also grow on rocks and man-made structures such as buildings. The common name 'resurrection fern' comes from these plants' incredible ability to recover from being almost completely dried and shriveled up to full health when they receive water.

Arthromeris
Arthromeris is a fern genus in the subfamily Drynarioideae.
Golden polypodies
Golden polypodies
Golden polypodies is a small genus of epiphytic ferns that may also grow on rocks. They are distinctive for their yellow-orange spores, which are found on the undersides of the fronds. In addition, the leaves of these ferns will turn yellow stressed. The species in this genus are widely used as ornamentals in gardens or as houseplants, as they are very easy to grow.
Microsorum
Microsorum
Microsorum is a genus of tropical ferns. It includes some species that are lithophytic rheophytes. Like most ferns, they grow from rhizomes, rather than roots. Microsorum includes over fifty species.

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.
