Love my houseplants..... make the place feel warm, comfortable, eniting and relaxing

I love the colour that reflects through the rooms when the sun is out and shinning off the plants
Ive got:

Roses,
30year old money plant,
Tea
Coffee (yes, really, both from the Eden Project)
Mint
Basil
Cactus (of some sort, rescued from the compost outside)
10year old Yuka
Flaming Katy
African Voilets

I for many of my years, well most of them 46 to be exact, was an untidy person and hated having to do any housework, and yet hated the tip the house got into, once chatting to my GP I said "I'd love to wake up one day and be a tidy person", she responded with, "Well that is never going to happen is it", but it did, I really did wake up one day and was a tidy person, literally overnight. I scrubbed the place clean and now hate any mess, and plants just cause so much mess, their flowers stick to the windows and walls and they shed bits all over my nice clean floors. Warm coloured paint makes my house warm, comfortable, inviting and relaxing

I love having plants in the house, I always think that a house without plants feels dead and sterile.
My favourite is our Clivia, which my wife was given by her first mother-in-law, and which didn't flower for years and years. However, after a bit more care and attention, it now flowers every spring - I think it's beautiful and it must be forty years old at least.
I'll try and find a photograph of it.

If house plants think then perchance they wonder whats the point of humans, imprisoning us indoor with inadequate water, food and light. People who like plants which are a form of living thing will feel a duty of care toward them. Your hubby now feels said duty and he cant murder them. I dont have houseplants because if they dont move and attract my attention like my cat I forget they're there plus of course the stupid cat would eat them and throw up everywhere :facepalm:
