Scientific Name Carnegiea gigantea (Engelm.) Britton & Rose
Common Names Saguaro, Saguaro Cactus, Sahuaro, Giant Cactus, Sage of the Desert Synonyms Cereus giganteus (basionym), Pilocereus engelmannii, Pilocereus giganteus Scientific Classification Family: Cactaceae Subfamily: Cactoideae Tribe: Echinocereeae Genus: Carnegiea
Flower Color: White Bloom Time: April to June Description Carnegiea gigantea is a tall, tree-like, columnar in form cactus, up to 65 feet (20 m) tall. The ribbed stem can reach up to 2.5 feet (75 cm) in diameter. It is the largest columnar cactus native to the United States but is extremely slowly-growing, reaching only 0.24 inch (0.6 cm) tall after two years. It flowers once it has reached about 30–35 years of age and a height of about 6.6 feet (2 m). The first branches appear after it has reached a height of about 16.5 feet (5 m) and an age of 50 – 70 years. The white flowers appear just below the top of the stem and they are up to 5 inches (12.5 cm) long and up to 2.4 inches (6 cm) in diameter. The edible, red, fleshy fruits are up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) long. The Saguaro blossom is the State Wildflower of Arizona.
How to Grow and Care Saguaro cactus needs to grow in well-drained grit and receive low levels of water, with the soil drying out completely between irrigation. Annually fertilizing with cactus food in spring will help the plant complete its growth cycle. There are common cactus pests, such as scale and mealybugs, that will require manual or chemical controls.It is not legal to procure a Saguaro cactus for home cultivation by digging it out of the desert. Beyond that, mature Saguaro cactus plants almost always die when transplanted. Origin Native to the Sonoran Desert in the United States state of Arizona, the Mexican state of Sonora, and the Whipple Mountains and Imperial County areas of California.

Scientific Name Camellia nitidissima C.W.Chi
Common Names Yellow Camellia. Golden Camellia Synonyms Camellia nitidissima var. nitidissima Scientific Classification Family: Theaceae Subfamily: Cactoideae Tribe: Cacteae Genus: Camellia
Flower Color: Yellow Bloom Time: Midwinter to midspring Description Camellia nitidissima is a shrub or small tree growing up to 16.4 feet (5 m) in height. The leathery, elongated, oval leaves are glossy, emerald green and have dimpled veins across the surface. Flowering occurs from from midwinter to midspring. The cup-shaped, waxy blooms are light to canary yellow and semi-double and comprised of petals that curve inward like those of a rose. In the center of each blossom is a dense cluster of golden-orange stamens. New foliage unfolds in both spring and autumn.
How to Grow and Care Choose a large rugged pot, terracotta, wood or stone, and part fill with ericaceous compost and then add your plant and back fill so that the level of the pot is level with the soil. Water well, preferably with water taken from a water butt. If you do use tap water, which tends to be alkaline, allow it to stand for a morning first. Re-pot every other year into fresh potting compost. In the intervening years remove the top 2 inches (5 cm) of compost and add fresh compost. You can re-pot back into the same pot if you trim off up to a third of the roots to make room for fresh potting compost, or go up into a larger pot. This regime will keep your Camellia happy. Camellias are fast-growing tap-rotted plants and the new growth can snap off in windy positions so staking is advisable for the first few years until the Camellia becomes bushy. They do tolerate windy conditions however, once established, and are often used as windbreaks in gardens where they thrive. Origin It is endemic to the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China and northern Vietnam.

Scientific Name Calliandra haematocephala Hassk.
Common Names Red Powder Puff, Powder Puff Tree Synonyms Calliandra haematocephala var. haematocephala, Calliandra inaequilatera, Calliandra novaesii, Feuilleea haematocephala, Anneslia haematocephala Scientific Classification Family: Fabaceae Subfamily: Mimosoideae Tribe: Ingeae Genus: Calliandra
Flower Color: Red Bloom Time: Fall and winter Description Calliandra haematocephala is a spreading well-branched shrub or small tree, up to 15 feet (4.5 m) tall. Branches are brown, cylindric, and rough. Leaves are pinnately compound, oblong, acute, with 5 to 10 pairs of glossy green leaflets. Flowers are clustered in globose heads, up to 3 inches (7 cm) across. Stamens are numerous, long and silky, very brilliant, pink to red.
How to Grow and Care Powder Puff plants are not especially difficult to grow indoors, but it can be tricky coaxing them to bloom. They prefer regular moisture, high humidity, bright light and high temperatures. In the absence of these conditions, they will not grow as vigorously and will likely not bloom at all. If you have a conservatory or sunroom, you’ll likely have more success. Powder Puffs are not especially susceptible to pests, but will sometimes suffer from infestations of mealybugs, aphids, and mites. Signs of infestation include tiny webs on plants, clumps of white “powdery” residue, or visible insects on the plant. Treat infestations as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading to the rest of your collection. As always, start with the least toxic treatment option first, only progressing to more serious chemicals if your initial efforts fail. Repot in the early spring (when you take cuttings). In their native habitat, Powder Puff plants grow to medium-sized shrubs or small trees, depending on the year-round conditions and species. Indoors, they won’t become that large, but if your plant is very healthy and thriving, it can easily outgrow your pot and overpower the space. To keep it smaller, only repot every other year. Origin Native to tropical America.

Scientific Name Calla palustris L.
Common Names Bog Arum, Water Arum, Marsh Calla, Wild Calla, Squaw Claw Synonyms Calla palustris f. palustris, Calla brevis, Calla cordifolia, Calla generalis, Calla ovatifolia, Callaion bispatha, Callaion brevis, Callaion heterophylla, Callaion palustris, Dracunculus paludosus, Provenzalia bispatha, Provenzalia brevis, Provenzalia heterophyla, Provenzalia palustris Scientific Classification Family: Araceae Subfamily: Calloideae Tribe: Spathiphylleae Genus: Calla
Flower Color: White Bloom Time: Summer Description Calla palustris is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant growing in bogs and ponds. The leaves are rounded to heart-shaped, up to 5 inches (12.5 cm) long and wide, on a up to 8 inches (20 cm) long petiole. The greenish-yellow inflorescence is produced on a spadix up to 2.4 inches (6 cm) long, enclosed in a white spathe. The fruit is a cluster of red berries, each berry containing several seeds. Hardiness USDA hardiness zone 4a to 7b: from −30 °F (−34.4 °C) to 10 °F (−12.2 °C).
How to Grow and Care Water Arum is found in bogs and marshes as it is a plant of shallows, cold water, and wet soils. It can tolerate up to 2 inches (5 cm) of standing water and grows best in full sun. It grows from submerged creeping rhizomes that are horizontal near the surface of the soil. In summer, the growing shoots can be cut off, to encourage branching, and pushed into the soil to propagate. These perennial also frequently vegetatively reproduce by producing offsets through its rhizomes. It can be grown both in wet soil and in marshy, muddy conditions with still, shallow freshwater. Plants tolerate close to full shade, but may become weak-stemmed and lean. In established ponds with good layer of sediment in bottom can be left to free float. A light mulch is necessary in extremely cold, snowless winters. Water Arum will not survive a dry spell. Origin Native to cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, in central, eastern and northern Europe (France and Norway eastward), northern Asia and northern North America (Alaska, Canada, and northeastern contiguous United States).

Scientific Name Calendula officinalis L.
Common Names Marigold, Common Marigold, Pot Marigold, Garden Marigold, English Marigold, Scottish Marigold, Ruddles Synonyms Calendula aurantiaca, Calendula eriocarpa, Calendula hydruntina, Calendula officinalis var. officinalis, Caltha officinalis Scientific Classification Family: Asteraceae Subfamily: Asteroideae Tribe: Calenduleae Genus: Calendula
Flower Color: Orange or yellow Bloom Time: June to November Description Calendula officinalis is a short-lived aromatic herbaceous perennial, up to 30 in (76 cm) tall with bright green leaves about 4 inches (10 cm) long. The upper leaves are lance shaped with pointed tips and the lower leaves are oval with a rounded tip. The flowers held on thick sturdy stems and are up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter. The inflorescences are orange or yellow, comprising a thick capitulum or flowerhead up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter, surrounded by two rows of hairy bracts. In the wild plant they have a single ring of ray florets surrounding the central disc florets. It is in flower from June to November. The flowers may appear all year long where conditions are suitable.
How to Grow and Care The Calendula flower or flowering herb is an annual which will readily reseed. Too much care can result in stunted or slow growth of the plants. Poor to average, well draining soil and only occasional watering after plants are established is the secret to growing prolific Calendula plants. Like most herbs, Calendulas are adaptable and do not require a lot of maintenance. Roots will often adapt to the space provided. The amazing Pot Marigold can be grown in containers or beds in full sun to shade conditions. As the Calendulas prefer cool temperatures, flowers last longer in filtered sun or shady areas. If deadheaded regularly, this plant can bloom from spring through fall and beyond. In warmer areas, the Calendula may take a break from blooming during summer heat and then put on a show as temperatures fall in autumn. Regular pinching keeps the 1- to 3-foot (30 to 90 cm) plant bushy and prevents tall, spindly stalks. Origin Probably native to southern Europe.

Scientific Name Calceolaria uniflora Lam.
Common Names Darwin’s Slipper, Darwin’s Slipper Flower Synonyms Calceolaria darwinii, Calceolaria minima, Calceolaria monanthos, Calceolaria nana, Calceolaria uniflora var. uniflora, Fagelia darwinii, Fagelia nana, Fagelia uniflora Scientific Classification Family: Calceolariaceae Genus: Calceolaria
Flower Color: Orange-yellow Bloom Time: Summer Description Calceolaria uniflora is an evergreen, perennial plant with darkish-green leaves and erect to ascending stems. It has a shallow root system and grow tight to the ground, up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. The unique flowers almost look like little penguins marching over the rocks. They are orange-yellow with varying amounts of deep garnet-red to bright chestnut freckling or shading in the throat and on the outside of the vertical lower lip. Each bloom has a white band across an open “mouth”, with burgundy markings above and below it.
How to Grow and Care While this annual can be grown both indoors and out, the most popular use may be as a potted houseplant. Once you look into the native environment for this bright flower, you’ll know how to grow Pocketbook Plant. It comes from Central and South America in the cooler plains areas where water and bright sunlight aren’t so abundant. Calceolaria care works best when you try to imitate its native home. Keep the plant near a bright window, but out of direct sunlight. If your only window is on a bright southern exposure, hang a sheer curtain between the plant and outdoors to filter the brightest rays. Northern windows and tables away from the light source are more hospitable for these plants. Pocketbook Plant care includes carefully monitoring the water supply. These plants don’t do well with too much moisture on their roots. Give the plants a thorough watering, then let the pots drain in the sink for about 10 minutes. Allow the soil to dry out until the surface is dry before watering again. Origin Native to South America.
