It is an easy-to-grow plant ideal for borders, background plantings, and cottage gardens.
Wright's Fishhook Cactus
Cochemiea wrightii
Cochemiea wrightii, formerly classified as Mammillaria wrightii, is a small solitary cactus native to the high-elevation grasslands and rocky hills of Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora, and Chihuahua. It grows as a flattened to briefly cylindrical stem reaching just 3 to 8 cm in diameter, armed with dark, hooked central spines and whitish marginal spines. In spring and summer it produces striking magenta to bright purple flowers up to 2.5 cm wide. Thanks to its origin at elevations up to 2,200 m, it tolerates far colder winters than most Mammillaria-type cacti.
Codonanthe
Codonanthe devosiana
Codonanthe (Codonanthe devosiana) is an epiphytic subshrub from the Gesneriaceae family, related to the African violet. It is native to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern and southern Brazil, where it grows hanging from trunks and branches, rarely rooting in solid ground. Its thin, trailing stems bear small, fleshy, almost round leaves that are dark green on the upper side and reddish or maroon on the underside. Between spring and autumn, it produces white or pale pink tubular flowers, sometimes with a yellow or maroon throat, followed by small, bright orange berries. Due to its trailing habit and prolonged flowering, it is highly valued in hanging baskets and as a houseplant.

Its slender, cascading stems can reach over a meter in length and readily root along their nodes, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets. Small, fleshy, glossy leaves line the stems, punctuated by delicate white to pale pink tubular flowers with maroon throat markings that give way to bright orange berries.
Codonanthe
Codonanthopsis crassifolia
Codonanthopsis crassifolia (still widely sold under its older name, Codonanthe crassifolia) is a small trailing epiphyte in the African violet family, Gesneriaceae. Native to the humid rainforest understory of Brazil, it grows on tree bark, its slender cascading stems studded with thick, glossy, moisture-retaining leaves that form dense mats over time. It produces small tubular flowers in shades of creamy white to pale pink, about 1.5-2.5 cm long, followed by yellow-to-orange berries. In the wild it shares a remarkable partnership with arboreal ants: it offers extrafloral nectar and ant-fodder berries, and in return its seeds and roots are carried into the ants' carton nests, a classic myrmecophyte relationship. In cultivation it makes an easy-going hanging or mounted specimen for warm, humid rooms.
Snow Queen Orchid
Coelogyne cristata
Coelogyne cristata is a stunning epiphytic orchid native to the cool, moist Himalayan foothills.

Mature specimens reach up to 20m tall on a slim, ringed trunk topped by a dense crown of stiff, blue-green fan leaves, and can live for two centuries. It is nicknamed "arvore da vida" (tree of life) in Brazil because almost every part is used, most famously the fine wax coating its fronds, harvested and refined into carnauba wax -- the hardest natural wax in commercial use, prized for polishes, cosmetics and coatings.
Spanish Elm
Cordia alliodora
The Spanish Elm (Cordia alliodora) is a tree in the Boraginaceae family, native to the tropical forests of the Americas, ranging from Mexico to Argentina. It can reach up to 30 meters in height, featuring a cylindrical, fluted trunk and branches with hollow nodes that often serve as nesting sites for ants and stingless bees. Its name 'alliodora' refers to the characteristic garlic-like scent emitted by its wood.
