I'm starting to collect bromeliads and a few streptocarpus, of all things...

Outdoors, anything that has edible fruit.

I have a bromeliad, a couple of clivia's, a tuberous begonia, a fern and some succulents.

Succulents are cool.

I'm addicted to plants. Inside, besides my 50+ orchids, I have 10 Christmas cactus of various colors (although I killed my yellow one last year so I need to replace it), about 4 different lipstick plants, and african violets. Outdoors, I grow anything and everything, though a majority of what I do is to attract butterflies/hummingbirds in the summer and then birds in the fall/winter. Now that I've moved, I have a fresh palate to work with , so I'm excited for spring!

Streptocarpus is like african violet. Same family. Different flowers though. Supposedly (supposedly...) they will work well in vivariums. I haven't tried it yet.

Mostly anything indoors or out. Indoors mostly heavier tropical green types (clivias, monstera , carnivorous plants, bird of paradise, antherium, etc) and I would like to grow a fig!

Outdoors I am particularily fond of plants that you don't usually associate with our climate (zone 3a) and mixed plantings of flower and edible plants (à la Disneyland).

Bonsai! Outdoors I grow mostly native plants: spruces, firs, maples, birches, and a vegetable garden. Indoors I grow ficuses and schefflera, jades, and some standard tropical foliage plants, ferns and african violets.

Up until recently, I had 50 "other" plants out on the lanai along with the 'chids. I've slowly been giving them away to friends because orchid real estate is at a premium!
I still have quite a few though...4 broms, 2 ferns, a hibiscus, a peperomia, a candycorn, a chenille, 2 potted palms, a Meyer lemon, a dwarf Bird-of-Paradise, a pothos, a scheff and a few miscellaneous that I can't come up with a name for. There are also 2 African Violets and a large cane-type plant (don't know the name) inside and too many to list for what's growing outside on the property. That's hubby's domain

Let's hope you don't regret that decision Sue.
Sue, if you ever feel like giving away your Pothos, think of me. I'll buy from you at orchid prices!
