8 most common species：
Rosepink
Widely known as the rosepink, the *Sabatia angularis* is a wildflower native to eastern North America. It can grow nearly 3 m tall, with rosepink-colored flowers on multi-branched flowering stems. It is cultivated ornamentally for these mid-summer blooms. The genus name, *Sabatia angularis*, was given in honor of the Italian botanist, Liberato Sabbati.
Meadow Pink
Meadow Pink (Sabatia campestris) blooms in spring with pink flowers. It thrives in full sun or partial shade in dry soils that are well drained. Blooms poorly or not at all under drought conditions, however. Seeds develop after flowering and ripen in fall.
Rose of Plymouth
Native to the eastern U.S., Sabatia stellaris is a salt-tolerant plant that grows in a wide range of habitats, including salty marshes. Rose of Plymouth is listed as endangered or threatened in some parts of the U.S. Its main threat is an invasive wetland plant called Phragmites australis.
Lanceleaf rose gentian
Lanceleaf rose gentian is a delicate wildflower boasting striking pink to lavender blooms with eight distinct petals. Characterized by a yellow star-shaped center, the flowers contrast vividly against slender, lance-shaped leaves. Thriving in damp, open habitats, lanceleaf rose gentian's vivid flowers are a beacon for pollinators, playing a crucial role in its reproduction and the balance of its ecosystem.
Pine-woods rose gentian
Pine-woods rose gentian is a delicate wildflower often found thriving in the well-drained soils of open woodlands and coastal plains. This plant is recognized by its vibrant pink flowers with yellow centers and pointed, oblong leaves. It flourishes in full sun, with blooms that have eight symmetrical petals, captivating the gaze of passersby from late spring through early fall.
Sand rose gentian
Sand rose gentian is a delicate, flowering perennial native to sandy coastal habitats, where its survival is intertwined with well-drained soil conditions. It features vibrant pink blooms with a star-shaped arrangement of petals that serve as a beacon for pollinators. The plant's slender stems and narrow leaves allow it to conserve moisture amidst a backdrop of shifting dunes and saline breezes.
Shortleaf rose gentian
Shortleaf rose gentian is a petite perennial herb known for its resilience and adaptability to poor, sandy soils. Its most striking attribute is a burst of vibrant pink to purplish flowers, each with a star-like array of delicate petals that bloom in late spring to summer. The foliage is sparse, typically with narrow leaves, allowing shortleaf rose gentian to conserve resources in its challenging habitat.
Largeflower rose gentian
Largeflower rose gentian is a perennial wildflower known for its large, showy pink blossoms with a star-shaped pattern. It typically grows in open, wet areas such as marshes and savannas, where its vibrant petals attract pollinators. The contrast between its delicate flowers and the hardy environment reveals a surprising resilience, allowing it to thrive in conditions that challenge less adaptable 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.
