Chickweed
Stellaria media
Stellaria media, commonly called chickweed, is a low-growing, sprawling annual (or winter annual) native to Europe and now naturalized worldwide. It forms soft mats of small oval leaves and tiny white star-shaped flowers, thriving in cool, moist, disturbed soil such as garden beds, lawns, and greenhouses. Prized both as a cottage-garden ground cover and as one of the most popular wild edible and medicinal weeds, chickweed grows and flowers almost year-round in temperate climates.
Brain Cactus
Stenocactus phyllacanthus
Stenocactus phyllacanthus is a small, solitary, globose to short-cylindrical cactus native to the high-desert scrublands of central and northern Mexico (Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Nuevo LeΓ³n, QuerΓ©taro, San Luis PotosΓ and Zacatecas), typically found between 1,700 and 2,800 m elevation. Rarely exceeding 15 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter, it is prized by collectors for its dramatically wavy, paper-thin ribs crowned with dense tufts of fine spines. In spring and summer it bears funnel-shaped, yellowish-white flowers with brownish-red throats near the crown. Slow-growing and undemanding, it is one of the easiest Stenocactus species to bring into flower in cultivation.
Organ Pipe Cactus
Stenocereus
Stenocereus is a genus of large, tree-like columnar cacti native to the deserts of Mexico and the southwestern United States. The best-known species, Stenocereus thurberi (organ pipe cactus), forms clusters of slender, upright stems rising from a short trunk, resembling the pipes of a musical organ. Ribbed, spiny stems can reach up to 8 m tall and 3.5 m wide, producing white, night-blooming flowers followed by spiny, sweet edible fruit.
Gray Ghost Organ Pipe Cactus

Large, funnel-shaped white flowers open at night on mature plants, followed by fleshy, edible fruit.
European feather grass

An excellent choice for naturalistic gardens, rain gardens, and native plant landscapes.
Russian Comfrey
Symphytum Γ uplandicum
Russian comfrey (Symphytum Γ uplandicum) is a vigorous, hardy herbaceous perennial in the borage family (Boraginaceae), arising as a natural hybrid between common comfrey (Symphytum officinale) and rough comfrey (Symphytum asperum). It forms large clumps of coarse, bristly, lance-shaped leaves and sends up branching stems topped with nodding, bell-shaped flowers that open pink-blue and mature to violet-purple, blooming from late spring through summer. Prized by organic gardeners as a "dynamic accumulator," its deep taproot draws potassium and other minerals up from the subsoil, making the leaves an excellent source material for compost activators, liquid feeds, and mulch. Note that comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids that are toxic to the liver if ingested, so its historical internal medicinal use has been discouraged in favor of external, topical applications only.
