plants

The Prunus x yedoensis, or the Yoshino Cherry tree, is found all throughout Mercer's campus. It's very popular and widespread tree. It comes from Japan and is a hybrid. 

The Hightower Willow Oak, found around the back end of Mercer's campus. According to my sources, the trees grow to be forty to fifty feet tall, and have "lustrous dark green summer leaves." It is from the willow oak genre. 

The Magnolia Grandiflora, or the southern magnolia or bull bay, is very common to the southeastern US. The tree is evergreen and has white flowers.  

Peonie, or paeonia suffricosa, is a plant native to Asia, the southwestern US, and southern Europe. The plant has large flowers of varying colors. 

The tulip, a perennial plant, has many hybrid versions.  

Plumeria, also known as frangipani, is found commonly in the world's tropics. 

Hydrangea, or hortensia, is found commonly in my mother's yard, among other places. 

Baby's breath, or gypsophila paniculata, is a perennial plant.
