St. Catherine's Lace Wild Buckwheat (Eriogonum giganteum), a wonderful shrub native to the California Channel islands.
The plant's name is a translated reference to Santa Catalina, one of eight islands in the archipelago.

The Holy Ghost Orchid (Peristeria elata) is so named because the column of the flower looks like the head of a dove and the two lateral petals look like wings. This orchid is also the National Flower of Panama.
Peristeria elata is native to southern Central America and northern South America.

St. John's Bread (Ceratonia siliqua) is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the Pea Family (Fabaceae), native to southern Europe, northern Africa, Somalia, southern Arabia and southwestern Asia, including the Holy Land. It is also known as Carob or Locust. The Bible makes mention of St. John the Baptist eating locusts in the desert. It is speculated by some that the locusts eaten were actually the seeds of Ceratonia, which are still harvested and ground today as a source of a nutritious flour, which can also be used to make a substitute for chocolate (Cacao theobroma).
