Gomphrena Globosa
''Gomphrena globosa'', commonly known as globe amaranth, is an edible plant from the family Amaranthaceae. The round-shaped flower inflorescences are a visually dominant feature and cultivars have been propagated to exhibit shades of magenta, purple, red, orange, white, pink, and lilac. Within the flowerheads, the true flowers are small and inconspicuous. ''Gomphrena globosa'' is native to Central America including regions Panama, and Guatemala, but is now grown globally. As a tropical annual plant, ''G. globosa'' blooms continuously throughout summer and early fall. It is very heat tolerant and fairly drought resistant, but grows best in full sun and regular moisture. The plant fixes carbon through the C4 carbon fixation, C4 pathway. At maturity, the flowerheads are approximately 4cm long and the plant grows up to 24 inches in height. ''Gomphrena globosa'' is an outcrossing species that is pollinated by butterflies, bees, and other insects. Floral volatiles likely play a signifi ...

Centaurea Cyanus
''Centaurea cyanus'', commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button, is an annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to Europe. In the past, it often grew as a weed in cornfields (in the broad sense of "corn", referring to grains, such as wheat, barley, rye, or oats), hence its name. It is now endangered in its native habitat by agricultural intensification, particularly by over-use of herbicides. However, ''Centaurea cyanus'' is now also naturalised in many other parts of the world, including North America and parts of Australia through introduction as an ornamental plant in gardens and as a seed contaminant in crop seeds. Description ''Centaurea cyanus'' is an annual plant growing to 40–90 cm tall, with grey-green branched stems. The leaves are lanceolate and 1–4 cm long. The flowers are most commonly an intense blue colour and arranged in flowerheads (capitula) of 1.5–3 cm diameter, with a ring of a few large, spreading ray florets su ...

Centaurea Montana
''Centaurea montana'', the perennial cornflower, mountain cornflower, bachelor's button, montane knapweed or mountain bluet, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, endemic to Europe. It is widespread and common in the more southerly mountain ranges of Europe, but is rarer in the north. It escapes from gardens readily, and has thereby become established in the British Isles, Scandinavia and North America. This plant has become an invasive species in British Columbia, Canada. ''Centaurea montana'' grows in meadows and open woodland in the upper montane and sub-alpine zones, in basic areas. It grows to tall, and flowers mainly from May to August. ''Centaurea montana'' may be distinguished from other ''Centaurea'' species in the region by its usually entire leaves, and the blue-purple colour of the outermost ray florets. It may be distinguished from the cornflower, ''Centaurea cyanus'', by having a single (rarely up to three) flower heads, and by its being peren ...

Kerria Japonica
''Kerria japonica'', commonly known as Japanese kerria or Japanese rose, is a deciduous, yellow-flowering shrub in the rose family ( Rosaceae), native to China, Japan and Korea. It is the only species in the genus Kerria. In the wild, it grows in thickets on mountain slopes. Japanese kerria has been used for medicine and is also planted in gardens. A double-flowered cultivar, ''K. japonica'' 'Pleniflora', is commonly called bachelor's buttons. Name The genus name ''Kerria'' is also a common name for the species (Kerria). It is named after Scottish gardener William Kerr, who introduced the Japanese kerria cultivar 'Pleniflora'. It is sometimes known by the Japanese ''yamabuki'' (, Chinese pronunciation of characters ''shānchuī'') (= "mountain butterbur" or "mountain breeze") or the Chinese ''dìtáng (huā)'' (). It is also known as Japanese marigold bush or miracle marigold bush in northern New England (USA). Description ''Kerria japonica'' grows to tall, with weak archi ...
