collegedropout answered Monday April 25 2005, 8:16 pm: mandevilla's are plants with beautiful flowers, vine, and grow quickly. They are an annual for most people in the nation, but you can bring them inside in the winter as long as they have 4-5 hour of bright sunlight during the day ie. south facing window. Wave petunia's grow incredible fast and bloom profusely throughout the summer and into fall. I'm not sure what mystical means if thats like pot or something. If thats what you mean by 'mystical' you can get peyote cactus starts and make your own patch of cactus in your house. [ collegedropout's advice column | Ask collegedropout A Question ]
Draak answered Saturday February 19 2005, 3:25 pm: Personally I like plants and flowers that are easy to take care of and some back every year (perrenials). That way I don't have to plant something new each and every year. But if you live in a temperate climate, like Southern California, Florida or Texas, annuals might do well all year long and you wouldn't have to worry about replanting every year.
I also like plants that I can use in everyday life, like herbs. I have a lovely patch of mint and spearmint which makes a lovely foilage as well as soft purple blooms. The bees and buttlerflies love them. Beware though, they need their own patch because they grow like weeds and will choke out anything else that you may have planted there.
Along with my patch of mints, I also have a couple of rose bushes as well as many beds of flags. Flags are an orchid type flower that bloom in the spring and come in many lovely shades. I currently have yellow, orange, white and two-shaded purple ones.
For the fall months I have mums, which also come in a variety of colors and return every year. They bloom in early fall and remain until the first frost of the season. They are a bush like plant and fill patches nicely.
If these are the type of plants you are interesting in, I would suggest talking to a nursery or one of the big hardware franchises. That way they can make more suggestions than what I can offer.
