Echium
Echium is a genus of 60-70 species in the Boraginaceae family, native to the Mediterranean region with one species extending into northwest Africa and another into Macaronesia. The entire genus is usually called "Viper's Bugloss" due to the horn-like appearance of their seed pods.
English Bluebell
The Bluebell was once a common plant in much of Britain but has been in decline for several decades. It is protected under Schedule 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 which prohibits unauthorized killing or disturbance of the plants. Since 1979, it has also been illegal to uproot any wild bluebells growing on uncultivated land in England and Wales under the Conservation of Wild Creatures and Wild Plants Act.

Erigeron
Erigeron is a genus of about 60-100 species of flowering plants in the daisy family, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The name "fleabane" comes from their leaves which resemble Fleabane (Erigeron aceris), a related and similar-looking flea repellent plant that was used to keep fleas away from animals and their homes.
Eustoma
Eustoma is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family containing approximately 50 species. It was first described as a genus in 1832 and is native to central and western North America, with most species occurring south of Canada. The name Eustoma comes from Greek words meaning "to paint oneself red", which refers to the flower color of certain species.
Evening Primrose
Evening primrose is a common name used for several species of Oenothera, in the family Onagraceae. The term may also refer to the genus as a whole or to one species, in particular, Oenothera biennis. Evening primroses are native to North America and have been introduced into Europe and other areas with temperate climates. Although they may be called wildflowers, the term is more often used for plants in other genera.
Everlasting Daisy
The everlasting daisy is a perennial herb that has long-lived flowers. It gets its name from the fact that after blooming, it will produce new buds and continue to flower as long as it has access to sunlight and water. The leaves are hairy, lance-shaped with an alternating arrangement on the stem.
Euphorbia
Euphorbia is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Euphorbiaceae, occurring mostly in tropical regions of Africa and Madagascar. The number of species has been estimated to be around or more than 2,000. Common names include spurge. Many species are cultivated as ornamentals because of their colorful and often long-lasting bracts, which are called "spurges" or "spurgelets".
