Flowers and plants are often woven into cultural practices around the world, making for an almost infinite number of flower and plant exchange stories.

Many of those stories are retold in gardens around the world as gardeners plant those non-native species in their own homes and gardens for both ornamental and functional purposes.

The Torch Lily pictured above, for example, is a native plant of South Africa, and its popularity around the United States stems from both the eye-catching orange and yellow flower heads, and the bird attracting seeds contained therein.

The links in the box point to a couple of dozen popular non-native garden flowers, ranging from spring blooming flowers such as the Siberian Squill, to fall blooming flowers such as Dahlias.
