Small indoor plant that flowers all year?
I'm looking for a small-medium size house plant that has pretty flowers
throughout the year. Is there such a plant? The room is fairly bright with skylights. I want to place it on a shelf. Thanks for any advice or suggestions. |

Thanks for any advice or suggestions. I'm sure you can find something. Take a look at www.kartuz.com , www.logees.com or ask on one of the forums at www.davesgarden.com Don't discount getting a vine. Some are manageable in small spaces, have very nice flowers - usually scented, and are 'understory' plants accustomed to lower light levels. maybe a Hoya ? good luck Carl -- to reply, change ( .not) to ( .net) |

But a washable tray under these works well. Betsy |

You still have to get very low light plants. Rex begonia Spathaphyllum aka peace lily Oh, too many to list. |

Mine have been blooming continuously since since I got them in February and are not looking to stop. Hope this helps. |

I do not know where to purchase them mine was a gift from Vietnam. They are real easy to propagate.

See if you can find oxalis silver and gold. You can find it at
Logee's http://www.logees.com/prodinfo.asp?number=D7021-2. It has bloomed for me all year round on the windowsill. The plant stays small. Flowers are yellow.
