Flor DE Cementerio
Flor DE Agua
Flor Del Mar
Ache DE Santo
Perjul
Colonia
Diez Del Dia

I think other section about plant would be better.

This is a tough question...I looked around for you, but couldn't find anything. Check out this link, it's like a my space site, but for people who practice Santeria, maybe they could help you out more...

Flor DE Cementerio - flowers from the commentary
Flor DE Agua - flowers from water like someone said water lilies. grown in fresh water.
Flor Del Mar - flowers from the ocean.
Ache DE Santo- this isn't an herb from what i know. ache means good fortune/luck all good. maybe they meant that you have a good ache ( luck fortune ) with your saints.
Perjul - never heard of that.
Colonia - colonial is cologne
Diez del Dia - 10:00 AM
