White ash
Fraxinus americana
White ash (Fraxinus americana) is a large, fast-growing deciduous shade tree native to eastern and central North America. Part of the olive family (Oleaceae), it features odd-pinnate compound leaves with 5-9 leaflets that turn yellow to purple in fall, and can reach 60-80 feet tall in the landscape.
Narrow-leaved Ash
Fraxinus angustifolia
Fraxinus angustifolia, commonly known as narrow-leaved ash, is a medium to large deciduous tree native to Southern Europe, Northwest Africa, and Southwest Asia. It belongs to the family Oleaceae and can reach heights of 20 to 30 meters. Its pinnate leaves with slender, characteristic leaflets turn yellow and reddish in autumn. It flowers in spring before leaf emergence, producing small purplish-green flowers pollinated by wind.
European Ash
Fraxinus excelsior
European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is a large deciduous tree native to Europe, belonging to the Oleaceae family. It can grow 18-24 meters tall, with a rounded crown and pinnately compound leaves. Its small, petal-less flowers appear before the leaves in spring. A moderately fast-growing species, it has long been valued as an ornamental and shade tree, but is now severely threatened by ash dieback disease (caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) and the emerald ash borer.
Manna Ash
Fraxinus ornus
A medium-sized deciduous tree native to southern Europe and southwest Asia, prized for its showy clusters of fragrant creamy-white flowers in spring and its historic role as the source of manna, a sweet sap harvested from cuts in the bark. It has odd-pinnate leaves with 5 to 9 leaflets and a rounded crown, reaching about 9 meters in cultivation.
Green Ash
Fraxinus pennsylvanica
Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It is one of the most widely distributed ash species on the continent, thriving from the Atlantic coast to the Great Plains. Known for its adaptability to a wide range of soil conditions — including wet, dry, and compacted soils — it has long been a popular choice for urban streetscapes and residential landscapes. The tree produces small greenish-purple flowers in spring before the leaves emerge, and its foliage turns a brilliant golden yellow in autumn. Unfortunately, green ash faces an existential threat from the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that has decimated ash populations across North America.
Freesia

Sword-shaped, bright green leaves emerge from near the ground. It is primarily grown as a cut flower, garden ornamental, and fragrant potted plant; it blooms in winter and spring before entering a dormant period.

Ganoderma polychromum is a basidiomycete fungus belonging to the Ganoderma lucidum species complex. It is characterized by its cap with a lacquered, glossy surface that displays a color gradation ranging from pale yellow at the margin to dark reddish-brown near the base. Unlike plants, this fungus is a decomposer that grows primarily on decaying hardwood, playing a vital role in the forest ecosystem.

Gentian
Gentiana
Gentiana is a large genus of roughly 400 flowering plant species in the Gentianaceae family, prized for their intensely blue, trumpet- or bell-shaped blooms. Native to alpine meadows, mountain slopes and cool temperate grasslands across Europe, Asia, the Americas and East Africa, gentians range from tiny cushion-forming alpines only a few centimeters tall to taller woodland species over a metre high. They are cool-climate perennials that thrive in humus-rich, well-drained soil and struggle in hot, humid summers. Long cultivated in rock gardens and used medicinally (gentian root is a classic bittering agent), the genus is celebrated for its vivid color and resilience in harsh mountain conditions.
Geo Plant
Geogenanthus ciliatus
Geogenanthus ciliatus is a low-growing, rhizomatous herb from the Commelinaceae family, native to the rainforest understory of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. Its thick, fleshy stems carry glossy, deeply textured leaves in dark green to near-purple tones, sometimes patterned with darker mottling. Small three-petaled purple flowers occasionally appear on mature plants but are rarely seen in cultivation. As an understory dweller adapted to filtered light and constant humidity, it makes a striking but demanding terrarium or humidity-cabinet specimen. Its compact, spreading habit and dramatic foliage color make it popular among collectors of rare aroids and Commelinaceae relatives.

Its broad, elliptical leaves are a rich green marked with pale green to creamy pinstripes radiating from the midrib, giving the plant a hand-painted look prized by collectors. Like other prayer plants, it lifts and folds its leaves at dusk and unfurls them again at dawn, tracking the daily light cycle.
Prayer Plant
Goeppertia fasciata
Goeppertia fasciata (syn. Calathea fasciata) is a rhizomatous perennial native to the humid tropical forests of northeastern Brazil. Its rounded, leathery leaves display alternating stripes of dark and light green radiating from the midrib, with a rich purple underside. Like other members of the Marantaceae family, it shows nyctinastic movement, its leaves folding upward at night and opening during the day, resembling praying hands.
Rattlesnake Plant
Goeppertia insignis
Goeppertia insignis, commonly known as the Rattlesnake Plant (formerly Calathea lancifolia), is a tropical evergreen perennial native to the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Calathea leopardina) is a compact foliage plant in the Marantaceae family, prized for its glossy oval leaves marked with dark leopard-like blotches along the veins.

It is a popular indoor houseplant that thrives in bright, filtered light and high humidity.
Thai Beauty Calathea
Goeppertia louisae
Goeppertia louisae, commonly known as Thai Beauty Calathea, is a tropical houseplant native to the rainforests of southeastern Brazil. A member of the Marantaceae family, it captivates with its glossy, oblong leaves featuring brush-stroke patterns of creamy yellow or pale green against a deep green surface, with striking purple undersides. One of its most enchanting traits is nyctinastic movement — the leaves open at dawn and close at dusk, sometimes producing a soft, audible rustling sound.
White Star Calathea
Goeppertia majestica
The White Star Calathea (Goeppertia majestica), formerly classified as Calathea majestica or Calathea ornata 'Majestica', is a tropical foliage plant in the Marantaceae family, closely related to the popular prayer plants. Its large, oval to lance-shaped leaves display fine white or cream pinstripes radiating from the central vein against a glossy dark-green background, with undersides flushed deep purple — a dramatic contrast that earns it the "white star" nickname. Native to the humid tropical forests of South America, the plant follows the circadian rhythm typical of the genus Goeppertia, raising and folding its leaves in the evening in a movement called nyctinasty, as if in prayer. It is a highly popular indoor choice for its lush ornamental form and because it is completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, though it demands close attention to air humidity, water quality, and temperature stability to keep its leaves lush and free of crispy tips.
Round-leaf Calathea
Goeppertia orbifolia
Goeppertia orbifolia, commonly known as Round-leaf Calathea and previously classified as Calathea orbifolia, is a stunning tropical houseplant from the Marantaceae family, native to the forests of Bolivia.

Like other prayer plants, it folds its leaves upward at night in a movement called nyctinasty.
Calathea Picturata
Goeppertia picturata
Goeppertia picturata, commonly known as Calathea Picturata, is a tropical houseplant native to northern Brazil in the Marantaceae family. It is prized for its stunning foliage — dark green leaves adorned with silvery stripes along the midrib and margins, and deep purple undersides. Like all prayer plants, it performs nyctinasty: leaves fold upward at night and open again during the day.
