at least according to an article in the News & Observer recently. Jennifer Nelis, marketing director for the Florida Nursery Growers and Landscape Association, came up with the following list:
- Orchids - unflappable elegance
- Bromeliads - always at the center of attention
- Ferns and palms - relaxed and easy to get along with
- Anthuriums - very loving with heart-shaped leaves and passionate red blooms
- Spathiphyllum (peace lily) - purity
- Pothos - laid back
- Dracena - easy-going but efficient, perfect for distracted workaholics
- Crotons - red-headed fireballs
- Lipstick plant (basket vine) - impulsive
- Cryptanthus (earth star) - stylishly modern
- Ivy - traditional, gracefully conservative
I'm familiar with all these plants except crypanthus but have to confess I'd never given a thought to their "personalities". Maybe I'll consider them in a whole new way when next I chance to meet up with one!
