Susan,

I'll try but I don't know if I'll have 8 in each category.

PERENNIALS:

Shasta Daisies
Four O-Clocks (mine are perennial and now some of them are so old they have roots larger than a football....you can't dig 'em and move 'em once they are that large). They also reseed heavily.
Cannas
Water Lilies
Hardy Hibiscus...several kinds including native swamp mallows on the edge of the pond
Veronica
Blue sage (Salvia farinacea)
Angel's Trumpets (tender perennials)

ANNUALS: (I could list 80, but will restrict myself to the ones that reseed the best here or that have the longest bloom period.)
Larkspur
Poppies
Texas Hummingbird Sage
Verbena Bonariensis
Hollyhocks
Malva sylvestris (both 'Zebrina' and 'Mystic Merlin')
Zinnias
Sunflowers

ANNUAL VINES (I grow so many, I had to list these separately from regular annual flowers). These all tend to reseed here so I generally don't bother starting new ones from seed because I know they'll pop up out of the ground in the spring.

Moonflower Vine (Ipomoea alba)
Black-eyed Susan Vine
Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine
Cypress Vine
Cardinal Climber Vine
Morning Glory 'Heavenly Blue'
Morning Glory 'Grandpa Ott's'
Mina Lobata

SHRUBS:

Dwarf Burford Holly (NOT really a dwarf....my shortest one is 8' tall and 4' across)
Southern Wax Myrtle (the standard sized ones, not the dwarf ones)
Possumhaw Holly (native here)
American Beautyberry (native here)
Rusty Blackhaw Viburnum (native here)
ground cover type junipers, though I don't remember which ones I planted here a decade ago
Flowering Currant (Ribes odoratum)
Rough-leaved Dogwood (native here, and I love the white berries in summer)
Crepe Myrtles

PERENNIAL VINES:
American Cross Vine
Orange-flowered Trumpet Creeper
Yellow-flowered Trumpet Creeper
Goldflame honeysuckle 'Pink Lemonade'
Sweet Autumn Clematis
Virginia Creeper
Persian Ivy
Passionflower

HERBS:
Basil (any and all)
Borage
Chamomile
Lemon Balm
Catnip
Catmint
Pineapple Sage
Chives

SHADE TREES:

Shumard Red Oak
Post Oak (native and not easily transplanted)
Burr Oak
Native Pecan
Lacebark Elm
Chinese Pistache
Texas Ash
any other native oak

ORNAMENTAL OR UNDERSTORY TREES:
Desert Willow (not a desert type plant and not a willow either)
Persimmon
Chastetree
Mimosa (yes, it is a trash tree, and I grow it for the hummers and always will)
Chinaberry (This one is just for me because I love its purple flowers and the delicate lacy leaves. I had it in Texas and it was invasive there. Here, it has behaved itself so far.)
Redbud
Mexican Plum (can become a shade tree after many years)
Chickasaw Plum
