Lantana - this plant has become a big favorite of my mother and I, since it hangs so nicely from a basket and reminds us of Spain. If you rub its leaf an herby smell comes off, and the berries it produces look like blackberries, although I wouldn't eat them since I'm not sure it's safe.
Marigolds - functional and beautiful, they are practically fall in a flower, and beyond that, they ward off bugs with their spicy, pleasant scent.
Ranunculus, my current favorite flower (which changes every year or so). So full and gorgeous, although I can almost never find them where I live.
Magnolia, a gorgeous spring-blooming tree that always makes me think of Blanche on "The Golden Girls", played by Rue McClanahan.
Nasturtiums - one of my favorite flowers, a prodigious climber with fun little curly vines, geranium-shaped leaves, and edible blossoms.
