Passiflora colinvauxii
Passiflora colinvauxii is a climbing vine notable for its intricate flowers featuring a central corona surrounded by five pale blue or lavender petals and an array of filaments. These blossoms attract pollinators, vital for the plant's life cycle, set against a backdrop of dark green, glossy leaves. Thriving in tropical climates, passiflora colinvauxii's tendrils grip tightly to surfaces, displaying its remarkable adaptability and resilience.
Lanceleaf blumea
Lanceleaf blumea is a resilient herbaceous plant found in Asia's tropical and subtropical regions. It features narrow lance-shaped leaves and clusters of small yellow flowers on tall spikes, which protrude above the foliage. This wildflower thrives in open, disturbed soils and is known for its ability to grow in a variety of environmental conditions, often signaling fertile land. Its distinctive morphology is a common sight in rural landscapes.
Black calla
Also called the black calla lily, black calla (Arum palaestinum) is distinguished by its dark purple to black flower stalks and bowl-like sheaths that bloom in the spring. Though black calla is not a true lily, it still can still have toxic effects if consumed by humans, cats, dogs, or horses.
Giant Squill
Giant Squill is also sometimes called measles leaf because of the dark green spotting on its large leaves. In the spring and late summer, giant Squill also produces stalks of white flowers that begin blooming from the bottom of the stalk up.
Creeping peanut
Creeping peanut is a low-growing, sprawling perennial with a knack for colonizing open sandy soils. Its oval, hairy leaves and yellow, pea-like flowers are characteristic, showing its kinship with the peanut. Favoring a warm climate, creeping peanut's creeping stems root at the nodes, allowing it to spread effectively across its preferred habitat.
Indian acalypha
The foliage of the indian acalypha (Acalypha indica) grows wild in balmy areas around the equator. The foliage contains hydrocyanic acid, which is incredibly poisonous, so extreme caution should be had when handling this plant. It grows as a weed in the poor soils along roadsides and has little to no ornamental value in the landscape.
