This flowering plant is in the borage family and as well as being used in wild flower restoration can also act as a weed suppressor and nitrogen holder and also used as a soil improving green manure. Native to parts of Central America and New Zealand.

El género Datura contiene varias especies parecidas y polimorfas, todas ellas tóxicas, de las cuales el estramonio es la más extendida.
Crece en zonas cálidas eutrofizadas como orillas de ríos, establos, estercoleros, escombreras y vertederos de basuras, y es capaz de adaptarse a todo tipo de suelos desarrollándose de manera más vigorosa en los suelos húmedos con nitratos abundantes.
Sus flores son actinomorfas, hermafroditas, ebracteadas, cortamente pediceladas; y pubescentes, con un cáliz tubuloso y con una corola infundibuliforme, con cinco pequeños lóbulos que se prolongan en un apéndice triangular lanceolado, blanca o azul-violeta.

Genus:Melaleuca
Species:M. citrina
Synonyms: Metrosideros citrina, Callistemon lanceolatus, Callistemon citrinus
Origin: Bottlebrushes are members of the genus Melaleuca and belong to the family Myrtaceae. They are closely related to paperbark melaleucas, which also have 'bottlebrush' shaped flower spikes. Most Bottlebrushes occur in the east and south-east of Australia. Two species occur in the south-west of Western Australia and four species in New Caledonia. Bottlebrushes can be found growing from Australia's tropical north to the temperate south. They often grow in damp or wet conditions such as along creek beds or in areas which are prone to floods.
This species is probably the best known bottlebrush and is widely cultivated. The bright red flower-spikes appear in summer and autumn. Crimson Bottlebrush grows well in wet conditions and usually reaches 4 m. Plants should be lightly pruned and fertilised after flowering. Neglected or mis-shapen plants respond to hard pruning.

Nepenthes (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz/) is a genus of carnivorous plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus comprises about 170 species, and numerous natural and many cultivated hybrids. They are mostly liana-forming plants of the Old World tropics, ranging from South China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; westward to Madagascar (two species) and the Seychelles (one); southward to Australia (three) and New Caledonia (one); and northward to India (one) and Sri Lanka (one). The greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many endemic species. Many are plants of hot, humid, lowland areas, but the majority are tropical montane plants, receiving warm days but cool to cold, humid nights year round. A few are considered tropical alpine, with cool days and nights near freezing. The name "monkey cups" refers to the fact that monkeys were once thought to drink rainwater from the pitchers, however this is false, the pitchers are filled with digestive fluids not water and monkeys do not drink from them.

Rosa lucieae
Franch. & Rochebr. ex Crép.
Rosa lucieae (syn. Rosa wichurana), the memorial rose, is a species of rose native to eastern Asia.
Description
It is a woody, semi-evergreen shrub, with long trailing thorny branches of glossy green leaves, and single five-petalled white flowers with prominent yellow stamens in Summer; followed by small dark red hips. It can grow to 6 m (20 ft). It is named after the German botanist Max Ernst Wichura (1817–1866), with the suffix -iana.
Uses
While it is valued as a garden plant in its own right, R. lucieae is also a parent of several rose hybrids, notably 'Dorothy Perkins', 'Albéric Barbier', 'New Dawn' and 'Albertine'. Its vigorous, rambling habit makes it particularly suitable for forming an impenetrable barrier at ground level, or for scrambling up large trees. It has been introduced to the United States.
Ecclesiastes 1:2-5
King James Version
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

Hibiscus coccineus - MHNT
Hibiscus coccineus, the scarlet rosemallow,[1] is a hardy Hibiscus species that looks much like Cannabis sativa (marijuana). It is also known as Texas star, brilliant hibiscus, and scarlet hibiscus.
The plant is found in swamps, marshes and ditches on the coastal plain of the Southeastern United States. It is native from Southeastern Virginia south to Florida, then west to Louisiana. Despite its common name "Texas Star Hibiscus", the plant is not found naturally in Texas. It dies back during the winter and grows from 7-10'. In addition to the scarlet flowering variety, a white flowering variety is also known as the white Texas star or lone star hibiscus.
Many other fruits are also wonderful in their season, but the pear at its finest can be so much more exceptional in terms of its luscious texture, richness of taste, and its fragrances reminiscent of rose water, musk, and vanilla.
Pears grow in the Alcinous' orchard, in The Odyssey:
"A LARGE ORCHARD of four acres, where trees hang
their greenery on high, the pear and the
pomegranate, the apple with its glossy burden, the
sweet fig and luxuriant olive ... Pear after
pear, apple after apple, cluster on cluster of grapes,
and fig upon fig, are always coming to perfection ..."

This species has a very restricted range in Catamarca (and Cordoba?), Argentina (extent of occurrence is less than 100 km2). It grows at low elevation of 100 to 200(-400) metres above sea level.
