For as long as I can remember, my house has never had less than at least one hearty plant. Granted, this is probably not a very unique experience, but I can say that I am very fond of them.

Personally, I am not much of a fan of heavily hybridized plants, and instead generally prefer to keep specimens representative of wild individuals. Though, as you'll see below, I too am not immune to the trendy plants that... FIND THEIR ROOTS... in the US houseplant market. (*Cough cough Philodendron...*)

As I continue to work on this list, I would like to add pictures of most of the species, as well as some more notes where applicable. So, hopefully that will be coming soon.
