House Plants - Container Gardening - Part II

I came across this blog post from Urban Gardens and was instantly hooked.

I researched on plants, went to my local garden center and bought Peace Lily. I picked it because of the lovely flowers it produced. I want to buy a few more (different plants) to keep in the different areas of the house. It was a tiny plant when I bought it and it has done well. This is a recent picture with it's first flower.

Container Gardening - Part I

I have a few plants in pots and succulents are one of them. I had posted last year about the succulent centerpiece here:

They did well and this is what they are up to. Aren't they cute? They have filled up the pot and look at the stem that is protruding from the hens and chicks plant.
