It is native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, and Borneo. Rafflesia Arnoldii is a parasitic plant with no leaves, stems, or roots. It spends most of its life embedded in the tissues of a host vine of the genus Tetrastigma.


3. Victoria Amazonica (Water Lily)


Named after Queen Victoria, this species is known for its enormous round leaves and stunning flowers. Water lilies have leaves that can grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) in diameter, creating the largest lily pads in the plant kingdom. The leaves have a distinctive rounded shape with upward edges that allow them to support the weight of a small child. These massive leaves are held above the surface of the water by long, submerged stems.


4. Puya Raimondii



It is one of the largest species of bromeliads and can reach a height of 30 feet (9 meters). The plant has a basal rosette of long, stiff, spiky leaves that can extend up to 10 feet (3 meters) in length. These leaves are sharp and pointed, acting as a defense mechanism against herbivores. Pua Raimondi's most impressive feature is its enormous inflorescence. The plant produces a tall, branching flower spike that can reach up to 30 feet (9 meters) in height.


5. Giant Himalayan Lily


The giant Himalayan lily, scientifically known as Cardiocrinum giganteum, is an impressive flowering plant native to the Himalayan regions of Nepal, Bhutan, and India. As its name suggests, this lily species is known for its remarkable size and striking appearance. The giant Himalayan lily is a perennial plant that can reach heights often exceeding 6 feet (1.8 meters) in height. It has sturdy stems with large, glossy green leaves that form an attractive rosette at the base. The leaves grow up to 2 feet (60 centimeters) long, creating a lush and tropical look.


6. Tree peony (Peonia suffruticosa)



Unlike herbaceous peonies that die to the ground in winter, the tree peony is a deciduous shrub that forms a woody structure. It reaches a height of 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) and has a spreading habit. The plant produces many sturdy stems with deep green, glossy leaves that provide an attractive background for the flowers. One of the most attractive features of the tree peony is its elegant flowers. They come in many colors including pink, white, red, purple, and yellow. Flowers may be single, semi-double or fully double, with a central cluster of prominent stamens surrounded by tiered petals.

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid...

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's."

When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...

Top 10 Early Spring Flowering Shrubs

Early Spring Flowering Shrubs Spring-blooming shrubs and bushes add color to backyards early in the season, attract pollinators and more. 1. Carnelian cherry dogwood Cornus mas, zones 4 to 8 Size: Up to 20 feet tall and wide Welcome spring with bright yellow flowers that appear earlier than those of forsythia. These spring-blooming shrubs prefer full sun or partial shade and prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil. Leaves turn purplish red in fall, and scaly bark adds winter interest. Why we love it: Red fruits are edible, but they're also made into preserves, jellies and slices. Or leave them for the birds to enjoy. 2. Dwarf Russian Almond Prunus tenella, zones 2 to 6 Size: 2 to 5 feet tall and wide This moderate-sized shrub records the growing season with showy rose-red flowers and yellow-orange fall color. It prefers full sun, tolerates a variety of soil types and is very drought tolerant. Ruth's 100 produces lots of flowers on a small plant. Why we love it: Flo...
