This plant, unknown to me, has blooms at the top which are in the next set of images. (April 15, 2022)
[A plant approximately three foot tall growing beside a wooden fence. The leaves resemble needles on an evergreen in that they extend from a main spine which extends from the main plant. At the top are multiple stems with a spray of white blooms at the top. The blooms are at various stages of opening.]

Different views of the top of the prior plant - closed blooms on the left and fully open blooms on the right (April 15, 2022)
[On the left is a top-down view of a clump of very tightly-closed buds which appear to be plopped atop a small evergreen tree. The branches extend from all sides and the leaves extend from the branches. On the right is a close view of the fully-open tiny white flowers which fill the image. Each bloom appears to have four petals. At the center is yellow rimmed with dark red.]

Spanish needle wildflowers (July 31, 2015)
[A group of flowers with six white petals that are rectangular in shape and puffy yellow centers.]

Close view of the needles in a Spanish needle wildflower (September 3, 2021)
[A very close view from the side of the flower. Eight white petals surround a mound of yellow. Coming from the mound are thin yellow spikes which presumably are the needles in the name of the flower.]

White African Iris blooming (April 4, 2016) will curl up during parts of the day (April 15, 2017). This flower is considered to have two sets of petals, an inner set and an outer set.
[Two photos spliced together. Photo on left has one bloom with six white petals. Every other petal has a mustard yellow coloration in the center. There is an inner set of petals consisting of three whitish-clear ones with purple coloring in the middle of each. The photo on the right are two blooms with the outer parts of all petals tightly curled into the center of the flower. The visible underside of the petals are white with streaks of yellow.]

Yellow wild iris or peacock is in the same family as the prior flower (May 5, 2016). It also has two sets of petals, an inner set and an outer set.
[This flower has four cream-colored petals on the outer ring and about a half dozen on the inner ring. It may be that some which appear in the photo to be on the inner ring are outer ring ones. Three of the outer ring petals have a burnt-color brown spot on them on the inner part of the petal.]

Duck potato arrowhead (June 28, 2020 on left and April 22, 2017 on right)
The base of this plant has an edible root shaped similar to the outline of a sitting duck.
[Two photos spliced together. On the left is a close top-down view of a single bloom. The three large white petals have the appearance of wrinkled crepe. At the center are many yellow stamen in together creating a sphere of color. On the right from a main branch at approximately three inch intervals, three stems protrude around the branch. At the end of each stem is a round greenish ball except for two stems which have bloomed. The flower has three large white petals which hang downward. A center comprised of short yellow stamen stick upward.]

Herb of grace (September 3, 2017)
[One five-petaled white flower with long thin stamen with green top sticks out from numerous oval-shaped stiff leaves.]

Close view of a different Herb of grace (September 3, 2021)
[A very close view of a five-petaled white flower. The center is yellow with one long thin yellow stamen in the middle. There appear to be two short white stamen with silvery tips.]

False garlic (March 25, 2021)
[Four small six-petaled white flower with long thin stamen with bright yellow tops. The center of the flower is yellow and there is a thin greenish strip down the center of each petal.]

Snow squarestem (January 16, 2019)
[One white blooms amoung many hastate shaped leaves with deep veins. Instead of petals, the bloom appears to be a compilation of a multitude of long very thin flowers, each with six petals, grouped together in a half sphere shape.]

Eclipta (June 19, 2022)
[One white blooms with spiky white petals coming from a center with a bunch of small white globes (not stamen). The plant has long thin leaves and there is a still fully-green bud just behind this white flower.]

Button bush (August 2, 2020)
[The bush has green leaves. At the end of each stem section is a cluster of about eight white spheres with short spikes coming from them. Each shpere is on its own stem coming from the end of the leafy section. There are two sets of spheres in this image. The lower set looks to be past its prime as it is more brown than white and the spheres are a bit deflated.]

Button bush blooms in later stages on left and earlier stage on right (September 3, 2021)
[Two photos spliced together. On the left are five blooms of which four are mostly spent. The one good bloom is a white sphere with thin white spikes emanating from it. The spent blooms have shrunken spheres with missing spikes and the spikes that are there have brown on them. On the right is one bloom which is in the stage prior to the ball and spikes. It is spherical with many thick spikes which do not protrude from the sphere.]

Button bush in the early stages on the left and a full bloom on the right (September 4, 2022)
[Two photos spliced together. On the left are ten green balls and one partially open white-spiked ball. On the right is a very close view of one bloom which appears to be at peak stage. No parts are wilted and there are manyh yellow-tipped white spikes protruding from the white ball.]

This Canna variant had white flowers coming from green bulbs at the tops of the stem and had huge leaves (seen behind the bulb). (June 2, 2016)
[Three green bulbs emerge from one green stem. At the tops of the bulbs are long thin mouth-like openings from which the long-stalked cream-white flower emerges (as if the plant is spitting up the flowers). Three bulbs are visible in the image, but only two of them have flowers coming from them. One large leaf from the plant is visible behind the bulbs.]

Honeysuckle buds before opening (August 14, 2021`)
[The buds are a group of tall skinny white sticks with a thick end on the top. They rise perpendicular to the long oval-shaped green leaves.]

Honeysuckle (March 31, 2021 on left and April 22, 2017 on right)
[Two photos spliced together. There are both all yellow and all white flowers springing forth from dark green leaves. On the left is a zoomed out view of the many vines laden with blooms either already opened or spiral tubes which will open in the future. On the right is a close view of the flowers. Each flower has long stamen visible.]

Wild white aster (November 5, 2018)
[These plant are many very thin green stems coming off at angles from a main stem. The blooms come at both the ends of the angular stems and along the way. The flowers have thin white petals and a thick puffy yellow middle.]

Not yet found the name for these blooms (February 27, 2019)
[The image is full of white flowers each with long thin petals and long upright red or yellow stamen.]

Chinese star jasmine (April 23, 2021)
[The image is full of white flowers against a backdrop of large green leaves. Each bloom is five thin petals in pinwheel shape as if they were turning.]

Mexican shrimp plant has white blooms surrounded by the red bracts. The leaves are green. (The sun was coming in and out while I took the photos which is why the red seems lighter in the photo on the right.) (May 25, 2020)
[Two photos spliced together of two different sections of this plant growing along a fence. On the left hanging from the red leaves, known as bracts, are five thin white tubes with petals at the ends. Green leaves are behind the red bracts. On the right is a close view of one ball-like group of red bracts. Two slivers of white peep out from the red.]

Crinum lily (April 29, 2020)
[At the top of a bunch of long think green leaves are approximately ten blooms facing all directions. Approximately four of the blooms are spent and are completely collapsed (like a closed umbrella). The rest of the blooms are open. Each white bloom has six petals and each petal has a thin red stripe the entire lenghth of the tube to the tip of the petal. The blooms are in various stages of drooping.]

Crinum lily with its distinctive stamen (May 7, 2023)
[A close view of the inside of one six-petal flower. Each petal is white with a reddish-pink stripe extending from the middle of the flower to three quarters the length of the petal. The stamen are thick and grey speckled.]

Crinum lily blooms start as small spikes emanating from tubes. (May 7, 2023)
[Two photos spliced together. The photo on the left is a close view of one section of the photo on the right. The left image is two

This appears to be a different type of crinum lily. (April 29, 2022)
[Poking out from behind the large wide leaves of a different plant are flower with white petals which have a purple stripe down the center. These six long and thin petals fold away from the center of each flower exposing the very long stamen which have a little crossbar atop each. There is a bunch of flowers coming out from behind the upper right of the green-leafed plant and some coming out the left side. Right behind it are a bunch of dark magenta stems which look like they will be future flowers.]
