Scarce as Hen’s Teeth---Not Really

I have a fascination with houseplants that probably sprouts from having a basement bedroom growing up. There was well nigh no sunlight and I could never keep a plant alive. Living in an apartment with plenty of windows, I have gone overboard. For your enjoyment, I have paired pictures of my friendly vegetation with a cliché that I think says something about the plant.
