Alkaline Okay Plant Possibilities

These are the plants that I have looked up so far that have potential. I've crossed off quite a few plants that I had in a previous list that would probably not be happy in my soil. I would like variety and I'm planning on letting whichever plants want to spread to spread, so if I get some of these it will most likely be only 1 of each for whatever planting area.
