    I only have 3 growing, a spiderplant, a pothos(?) and a holiday cactus that's in flower now. It doesn't seem to know it's not Thanksgiving or Christmas & just flowers when it wants & that's about 4 times a year so I won't complain.

    They are all in the livingroom in front of the big picture window.Oh I forgot dd has a bamboo plant hanging on in the kitchen windowsill.

    I have ivy, christmas cactus, hibiscus (it lives out on the back deck during the warmer months), piladendrum (?) that is huge and I just took my dumb cane plant down to the library to live there since the cats like to eat it.

    I have a philodendren, a spider plant, 2 "Thanksgiving" cactus, and a snake plant. I'd have tons more if I didn't have 2 plant-eating cats, lol. I have mine either hanging or up on the top shelf of a baker's rack in the dining room. I'd love to have some African violets again but the cats won't cooperate with me.

    I only have 3 indoor plants, two aspidistras - one in the bathroom and one in the front lounge. Also in the front lounge we have a plant that my mother gave me and I have no idea what it is but it's pretty cool.

    We don't have any plants in the rooms where the bunny could eat or otherwise mess with them.

    I only have a few containers of basil growing an an amarylis that my mother just bought me. Hopefully that will flower. Those are on the windowsill in the kitchen's bay window. No other plants in the house yet, although I have TONS of seeds.

    At work I have a bunch of things: jade, four different primroses in bloom, and a dish of cacti that I made about five years ago still going strong!

    I have three - a cactus in the bedroom, and two in the living room - an "Easter" cactus that doesn't bloom at Easter, and some mystery plant that came from the Florist about a year ago (I asked for plants instead of cut flowers because they live longer)
