Reggie the bird of paradise plant is as stunning as indoor plants get. Given the right conditions - a good amount of indirect light, gentle watering and regular feeding - he will erupt in stunning orange and purple flowers. He was given the name bird of paradise because his flowers look like little exotic birds. You'll need a lot of room for this big guy, but he deserves it.
Pippa the peace lily is a flowering plant that thrives even in lower light. She's used to living in semi-shade and can happily tolerate those darker corners of your home, but if you can put her somewhere that gets a bit of sun at some point in the day she should reward you with elegant white flowers.
Jethro the lipstick plant, or aeschynanthus japhrolepsis, gets its common name from its curious flowers. When they first appear, they look like small red lipsticks, then beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers emerge. They'll usually starts flowering in early spring if you put them somewhere with lots of light. Even when not in flower, the dense, vivid green foliage on this hanging plant looks gorgeous.
Vivi the lemon tree gives you colour on two fronts. In late spring, she'll start erupting in little white blossoms, which not only look pretty but are very highly scented. Those blossoms then give way to plump yellow lemons throughout the summer. You can put Vivi outside at the height of summer, but she'll also do very well as a year-round houseplant if you put her in a bright spot.
