Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant native to the Americas. It possesses a large inflorescence (flowering head), and its name is derived from the flower's shape and image, which is often used to depict the sun. The plant has a rough, hairy stem, broad, coarsely toothed, rough leaves and circular heads of flowers. The heads consist of many individual flowers which mature into seeds, often in the hundreds, on a receptacle base. From the Americas, sunflower seeds were brought to Europe in the 16th century, where, along with sunflower oil, they became a widespread cooking ingredient. Leaves of the sunflower can be used as cattle feed, while the stems contain a fibre which may be used in paper production.

Rose of sharon is primarily valued for beautiful double blooms that appear in August and September, when very few other shrubs bloom. The flowers are a blaze of red, pink, white or blue and are two to four inches in diameter. They can be single, double, or semi-double and tend to bloom in late summer. Scientifically known as Hibiscus syriacus, rose of sharon tree comes from the family Malvaceae and is commonly used as a garden accent for its colorful, cup shaped flowers. The flowers of this small tree usually remain open during the daylight and close at the night.
