One reason for this diversity is the custom of English-speaking explorers and pioneers in a new land to adopt the native name for unfamiliar plants, animals, and things.

But you may have found, as you puttered around and poked at unfamiliar plants for the past months, that your yard is a new and wonderful place to be.

The entire space was filled with vegetation, some type of plant unfamiliar to him.

Before, an unfamiliar plant had been flourishing under a growth light.

Almost every year I succumb to the temptation of some catalogue description that hawks an unfamiliar plant as useful for cut or dried flowers, easy to cultivate, etc.

They gradually learn to use the unfamiliar plants and animals to create what they need to live and thrive.

Such visits teach not only lessons about new and unfamiliar plants, but also about the personal style that is always needed to give a garden its sense of individuality.

Chemical tastes in the water and smells on the wind: tar and hot metal and burning, unfamiliar plants, pulverized wood.

So I'm beginning slowly, observing more than planting, taking the time to learn the names of so many unfamiliar plants, and to dope out the sequence of the seasons.

The scent of the pines was mingled with the odors of unfamiliar plants and blossoms.
