2. Peony (Paeonia): Peonies are popular for their large, lush blooms that can be several inches across, available in a variety of colors such as pink, white, and red.

3. Hibiscus: Tropical hibiscus plants produce large, colorful blooms that can be quite striking, with diameters often exceeding six inches.

4. Dinner Plate Dahlias: True to their name, these dahlias can produce flowers as large as dinner plates, with diameters reaching up to 12 inches.

5. Oriental Lilies: Known for their large, fragrant blooms, oriental lilies feature petals that can span 6 to 12 inches, often with beautifully intricate patterns and colors.

6. Magnolia: Magnolias, especially varieties like the Southern Magnolia, produce large, creamy-white flowers that can be over a foot in diameter.
