i will be honest, don't really love tropical plants...in the past, if i had houseplants, they were grown from cuttings of plants from my mom or grandmother, and somehow that made up for the fact that they were tropicals. but, this winter, i am really feeling the need for some indoor greenery. maybe it is our record low temperatures or maybe it is because my children are getting old enough to not knock over our houseplants, but i went to the store recently and got some fresh plants. i love them! an easy way to bring some fresh green inside this winter...
