The boat orchid (cymbidium species) is named after the shape of its lip, which resembles a boat. In addition to their unique shape, these orchids are also known for their long-lasting and fragrant blooms, which can last up to several weeks. Boat orchids are native to Asia and are often used in traditional Chinese to treat a variety of ailments, including fever and coughs. They are popular as ornamental plants and can grow to be quite large, with stems reaching up to 1 meter in height and producing up to 30 flowers per stem.

Dahlias are named after the 18th century Swedish botanist Anders Dahl, who was a student of Carl Linnaeus. Dahlias were first discovered in Mexico and were brought to Europe in the late 1700s. Today, there are over 42,000 registered dahlia cultivars, making them one of the most diverse and versatile garden plants in the world. They come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes, from tiny pom-poms to dinner plate-sized blooms. Some varieties can even grow up to 12 feet tall!
