Dahlia - a genus of bushy, tuberous, perennial plants native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. There are at least 36 species of dahlia.  Some species are commonly grown as garden plants. The Aztecs gathered and cultivated the dahlia for food, ceremony, as well as decorative purposes and the long woody stem of one variety was used for small pipes.

Autumn crocus (meadow saffron or naked lady) - a flower which resembles the true crocuses, but flowering in autumn.  The name "naked lady" comes from the fact that the flowers emerge from the ground long after the leaves have died back.

Common Heather - a low-growing perennial shrub, found widely in Europe and Asia Minor on acidic soils in open sunny situations and in moderate shade. It is the dominant plant in most heathland and moorland in Europe.

Chrysanthemums - often called mums, are a genus of about 30 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Asia and northeastern Europe.

Rudbeckia - one of at least four genera within the flowering plant family Asteraceae whose members are commonly known as coneflowers; the others are Echinacea, Dracopis and Ratibida. The flowers of rudbeckia are produced in daisy-like inflorescences, with yellow or orange florets arranged in a prominent, cone-shaped head; "cone-shaped" because the ray florets tend to point out and down (are decumbent) as the flower head opens.
