Wildflowers
Flowers growing where nobody planted them: on a coast, a cliff, a mountain meadow or a bog. Most are smaller and plainer than anything in a garden, because a wild plant spends on seed what a bred one spends on show.
The Pink Lady's Slipper, an orchid of the New England woods, cannot grow from seed without a particular soil fungus, which feeds the seedling for its first years before the plant can make its own food. It is why the orchid cannot be transplanted, and why a bog where it grows is worth leaving alone.
