Halesia diptera (two-winged silverbell or two-winged snowdrop tree) is a species in the family Styracaceae, native to the southeastern United States from South Carolina and Florida west to eastern Texas.

The 1995 winners, chosen by a panel of experts, include the snowdrop tree (Halesia diptera magniflora), which has long-lasting large white flowers and grows in sun or part shade, and a native buckeye (Aesculus pavia), whose long red-coral flowers appear in May and which does best in full sun.
