1. My Christmas cactus that seems to bloom on and off all year (except at Christmas).
2. The string of pearls that roots just by laying cut-off strands on top of moist soil.
3. AV's that bloom the more they are neglected.
4. The nickname that my kids have given the Burro's Tail, Mr. Dreadlocks

Cindy,
I am very fond of wondering jew. I just like the way it looks and I have a large pot of it with several kinds that I am working on. When it feels in I think it will be lovely. I like ivy and variegated pothos also. I don't usually kill these. I have a large cactus that I have had for years and I like it very much. I am sure there are others.

Two of my plants make me feel great anytime. One is a weeping fig and the other is some kind of aloe (I thought, but some one told me it is a century plant. :) )
I have had them for a long time and they just keep on going.

I think those tropical pink polka dot plants are neat. I don't know their name off-hand! :o)

Oh, I do love my polka dot, and it blooms in the greenn porch all winter. It also drops the seed I never see, so I have new ones in the spring. They look great in a semi-shade or light sun area. One of my books says there are now over 150 varieties. I also have a little wild primrose my sister gave me, and it surprises me year round with blooms, and some of my kalanchoe have bloomed after sitting in a room with no care or attention at all, the room being closed off,for 6 months. But my little cylindrica, well, it's big now, has a most inconspicuous bloom spike that has a delightful spicy fragrance up close. I guess most of them cheer me these days, as if they patiently waited for me to return.
