Long flower in a pot. The most beautiful indoor flowers
For the first time, unusual and beautifully flowering plants began to be grown in pots or greenhouses during the era of the Great Geographical Discoveries. Today, indoor flowers, a catalog with photographs and names of which in paper form can fit in several closets, are a passion for millions of people around the world.
Photos and names of decorative indoor plants
Ornamental plants are valued for flowers of various shapes and colors, unusual foliage, and a variety of forms, including erect, creeping and hanging, herbaceous and tree-like. Indoor flowers can be of local origin and come from the most remote corners of the world. Such plants differ not only in appearance, but also in habits, and require different conditions of maintenance and care.
Some people are passionate about succulents, while others are more interested in watching the growth of epiphytes. Although it is almost impossible to get acquainted with all types of home flowers, their photos and names, a short catalog will be an excellent help in choosing a “green pet” to your liking.
Abutilone
An evergreen shrub that easily tolerates crown formation, blooming from late spring to mid-autumn. Numerous varieties and hybrids of indoor flowers prefer partial shade and are responsive to care, giving their owner a mass of white, yellow, pink, crimson “bells” with a diameter of up to 10–12 cm.
To restore strength, the plant requires a cool winter at 12–15 degrees.
Aglaonema
The photo and name of this homemade flower in a pot became famous thanks to the famous film “Leon”. Today, the herbaceous perennial is popular due to its variegated, leathery, broadly lanceolate-shaped foliage and its unpretentiousness when kept indoors. 
The color of leaves of different types and varieties contains not only green, white and silver tones, but also bright pink and purple colors.
Maidenhair
Among houseplants, ferns are not uncommon. Herbaceous evergreens attract attention with their carved fronds and hardiness. One of the most popular ferns is the adiantum, whose young fronds are gracefully curled and pinkish-cream in color. In the house, the flower requires partial shade and cool maintenance in winter.
Azalea
These indoor plants with flowers of white, pink, and purple colors are not accepted by all gardeners. But with the creation of the right conditions and constant attention, medium-sized shrubs related to the plant delight with generous flowering and a long life at home.
Alocasia
Among the numerous types of indoor flowers, there are many crops belonging to the Araceae family. People from the tropics of the Southern Hemisphere invariably amaze with the splendor of their greenery and variety of forms.
When you come across photos of decorative house flowers with the name “alocasia”, it is easy to notice how different these plants are in appearance. And this is not surprising, because several dozen representatives of the genus, for example, fragrant, copper-red, are unpretentious decorative foliage crops valued by amateur flower growers.
Aloe
Unlike Alocasia, which loves moisture, all species are succulents that can survive drought thanks to the water accumulated in the succulent leaves. Tree aloe or agave are more often grown as home flowers. The plant is up to one and a half meters high and is decorated with long leaves, up to 30 cm long, set on the edges with spines.
The value of the plant is in its non-capricious disposition and healing juice, which has a softening, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effect.
Anthurium
- another representative of the extensive Araceae family, which has become a popular indoor flower. The characteristic features of the plant are an underground stem, pointed, heart-shaped dense leaves supported on tall erect petioles, and inflorescence-cobs decorated with bright spathes up to 15 centimeters long. The modified leaf is painted in bright white-pink, scarlet, greenish-purple tones.
Asparagus
Akin to the culinary delicacy of asparagus, as a houseplant it is distinguished by its unpretentious disposition, active growth and long life in a pot. Several species of this crop, thanks to their needle-like foliage, ampelous or bush-like form, have long earned the respect and love of flower growers. The decorative effect of the plant is complemented by rare but memorable flowering. The white flowers collected in clusters are small but fragrant. After they wither, red round berries are formed.
Aspidistra
Originally from Southeast Asia, this is an ornamental deciduous plant, the main attraction of which is its large, broadly lanceolate leaves up to 80 cm long. In catalogs, among photos of indoor flowers with the name “aspidistra,” you can find specimens with variegated leaves decorated with white or yellowish stripes . The flowers of this species are inconspicuous and even invisible. Corollas of a reddish-brown or purple color appear close to the ground.
Balsam
House flowers in pots, in the photo, are popularly called “Vanka Mokrym” or “touch-me-not.” , which has taken up residence on the windowsills of our grandmothers, loves moisture, light and warmth. An extremely unpretentious plant, thanks to the presence of a mass of varieties, is ready to please the gardener with the flowering of simple and double flowers of various shades.
Begonia
Begonia is a rare plant that has decorative leaves and flowers. There are more than 1,000 cultivated varietal and hybrid forms in the world that are actively used for landscaping indoors and outdoors. House flowers can differ in the way they are propagated, be bushy or hanging, bloom seasonally or constantly.
Connoisseurs of decorative deciduous crops highly value the bright, unique greenery of these unpretentious, fast-growing flowers.

Hippeastrum
The bulbous perennial plant is popular due to its easy care and incredibly vibrant blooms. It is accompanied by the appearance of powerful, up to 70 cm tall, peduncles with several simple or double flowers. The color of the corollas depends on the variety and can be variegated, white, pink, scarlet or deep purple. The leaves form a furry basal rosette, have a smooth surface and a pointed linear shape. In autumn, this type of indoor flower begins a dormant period that lasts several months and requires dry, cool storage of the bulbs.
Gloxinia
Velvety large bells and the same exquisite “soft” oval-shaped leaves are characteristic features of the home Gloxinia flower. A tuberous plant with a winter dormant period, flowering requires long daylight hours, nutritious soil and a wide pot.
Above one rosette of leaves, several dozen spectacular flowers can simultaneously flaunt in all shades from white to deep purple.
Guzmania
Guzmania attracts attention thanks to its bright foliage bordering the not so noticeable and lush inflorescence. Flowering, which begins after 3 years of planting and lasts up to 3 months, means the imminent death of the mother plant, which must be replaced by basal daughter rosettes.
Dieffenbachia
An ornamental deciduous plant with large leaves of different colors is relatively unpretentious, stands out for its high growth rate and numerous natural and varietal forms. As in nature, at home, the flower with the name shown in the photo in a pot should receive enough moisture, warmth, nutrition and a lot of bright, but diffused light.
Dracaena
Accustomed to truly “Spartan” conditions in nature, dracaena is not capricious in an apartment. Several of its varieties are grown as house flowers, eventually forming a “tree” with a bare trunk and a cap of tough green or variegated foliage at the top.

Euphorbia Mile
Euphorbia Milya in Russia is better known as the “crown of thorns”. This unpretentious plant in nature reaches a height of 2 meters. In a pot, a succulent with a stiff stem covered with long thorns and a tuft of leaves at the top is much smaller.

Sansevieria or “mother-in-law’s tongue” has been a regular on window sills for many years. This unassuming house flower is popular for its tough foliage, with a variegated pattern or a light border. 
is one of the most common indoor flowers, but the cylindrical variety with pointed, erect leaves of an original shape is only gaining adherents.
Crassula
The decorative house flowers in the photo owe their name to their fleshy, coin-like leaves. Crassula or “money tree” is an excellent houseplant that even a beginner can care for.

Relatively simple care for phalaenopsis allows a novice orchid lover to master all the features of these ornamental plants.
Usambara violet (Saintpaulia)
At first sight, the Usambara violet captivates with the appearance of its fleecy foliage, gathered in lush rosettes, above which simple, semi- or double flowers of the most bizarre shapes and colors reign with a bright cap. Modern varieties of Saintpaulia number in the thousands and represent giant and dwarf plants, plain and variegated flowers, green leaves and greenery with white or pink edging.
Ficus
A catalog of indoor flowers with photographs and names of various types and varieties of ficus can be published as a separate book. Today there are almost a thousand varieties of this plant; several dozen are grown in culture, in the form of a bush, tree, ground cover and even hanging specimens. The most widespread is rubber.
Chlorophytum
– the leader among plants in terms of air purification ability. But this is not the only reason for the popularity of indoor flowers. An unpretentious and easily propagated indoor herbaceous perennial forms lush rosettes of pointed-lanceolate leaves of green or variegated color. The peculiarity of the culture is the flowers and daughter rosettes of the plant formed on long hanging shoots.
Hoya
Among domestic vines, hoya occupies one of the first places in beauty and popularity. An evergreen perennial with long stems covered with dense “waxy” leaves and umbrella-shaped inflorescences of fragrant star-shaped flowers, it leaves no one indifferent. At the same time, ivy growing on a suitable surface does not require special care and is excellent for keeping at home.

Indoor flowers appear at home for various reasons and reasons. There is hardly a house where there is not a single domestic flower. Flowers in pots are bought in flower shops, markets, greenhouses, propagated on their own, and given as gifts for the holidays.
Some use them for decoration, others, knowing the properties of plants, use them specifically for treatment and to purify the air. And still others grow them just for fun, being flower lovers.
House flowers can easily transform the appearance of the interior, enliven and decorate it.
Photo gallery of flowers
The varieties of indoor flowers amaze with their diversity and beauty. The flower catalog contains photos of the most popular house flowers. Photos of flowers in pots immerse you in a blooming world.
House flowers differ not only in their appearance, but also in different conditions of maintenance and care. After all, in order for a flower to delight you with its beautiful appearance for a long time, you need to know the rules of caring for it.
A description of the appearance of the flowers, their characteristic features, and the conditions of maintenance of the house can be found under each photo of the plant.
Indoor plants are divided into different categories:
- decoratively blooming,
- decorative deciduous,
- succulents,
- fruit.
Most indoor plants are flowering. They are united in this group by one thing - the beauty of the inflorescences. But the flowering period and duration of flowering are different for everyone. This species includes anthurium, geranium, orchid, clivia, balsam, jasmine, azalea and others.
Decorative deciduous plants amaze with the beauty of their leaves. Some have inconspicuous small flowers, while others never bloom. They look great all year round and are easy to care for.
This group includes ficus, dracaena, monstera, yucca, dieffenbachia, croton, begonia and others.
Succulents have a characteristic feature - a fleshy structure, bristles and hairs that perform a protective function. These plants survive in the complete absence of moisture. These include: Crassula (money tree), aloe, Kalanchoe, cacti, agave, spurge and others.
Fruit - dwarf varieties of citrus fruits, avocado, pomegranate, coffee tree.
Unpretentious and capricious house flowers
When the question arises of which flower to plant in a pot, you need to choose a plant not only for its beauty of appearance, but also take into account the conditions of its maintenance and the rules of caring for it.
These flowers are not demanding on watering, lighting and humidity. Owners of such unpretentious flowers can leave them for a long time and not be afraid for their appearance - they will withstand. Unpretentious flowers are convenient for women and business ladies who do not have enough time for household chores.
Violet can grow on all windows except the southern one (so that the sun does not burn the leaves). The roots of the violet are on the surface, so it does not like abundant watering. If there is excess moisture, the roots rot.
Euphorbia is a succulent with spines and small flowers that loves light and infrequent watering.
Clivia grows where others fail. A shaded place is just right for it; too much water can ruin it.
Spathiphylium is a female flower of happiness. He lives with diffuse lighting and goes without water for more than a week. When the leaves dry out, you need to pour cool water over it, it will come off and grow further.
Chlorophytum is the simplest and most unpretentious. He can live quietly on a cabinet in the far corner without light and long-term watering. He is not afraid of temperature changes and drafts.
Dracaena does not require frequent watering and spraying and can withstand darkness.
Crassula does not like dark corners and excess moisture. The money tree brings prosperity and abundance to the home.
Yucca is sun-loving, requires scanty watering and is unpretentious to the soil.
And housewives, people leading a measured lifestyle, and lovers of living plants can grow whimsical and exquisite flowers at home.
The group of capricious flowers includes the following flowers: begonia, cyclamen, gardenia, camellia, indoor rose. By following the rules of caring for flowers in pots, they will delight the owner with their beauty for a long time.
- Old inflorescences must be removed in a timely manner, and then the plant will bloom profusely.
- To prevent the plant from leaning in one direction towards the light and to grow evenly, you need to turn it around half a turn once a week.
- If a flowering plant does not bloom for a long time, it should be placed in a cool, dark place and watering reduced for several weeks.
- If you sprinkle the soil in a pot with black pepper, you can discourage the cat from the flower.
Types of plant pots
In addition to proper care, each flower requires a flower pot. And although a pot is only a container for growth, and the decoration for the room is the flower itself, the choice of this item must be taken seriously.
There are a huge number of flower pots on the modern market. They differ from each other in material, color, shape and price. The most purchased and in demand are plastic and ceramic.
Plastic flower pots are very convenient to use: they are lightweight, making it easy to replant plants without damaging the root system. These containers are varied in color and shape, which allows them to harmoniously fit into the interior of the room.
Plastic pots are practical and rarely break, since the life of the plastic is unlimited. These pots are lightweight and easy to move from one place to another. But they have a drawback - they easily heat up at high temperatures. And the root system of the flower suffers from overheating of the substrate.
Ceramic flower pots amaze with their beauty. Their main advantage is their porous structure. It allows the root system to breathe freely, distributing moisture evenly throughout the substrate.
But these pots are heavy and difficult to move around the room, especially if it is a large plant. They break easily when you drop them. The price of ceramic pots is much higher than plastic ones.
Pots come in different shapes and sizes. It is important to choose the right size of the pot so that the flower is comfortable. There is a “golden” rule when choosing: the height should be 1/4 or 1/3 of the height of the plant.
For large and fast-growing plants, immediately take a large flower pot. And small flowers with a superficial root system are planted in a wide and shallow pot.
Very large pots are used for tall plants with a powerful root system. They are usually placed on the floor in the house or outside for garden decoration.
All flower pots, regardless of material, shape and size, must have a tray. It helps prevent root rot and mold formation.
If you decide to give a homemade flower in a pot to someone you know, approach this carefully. According to popular beliefs, climbing varieties of plants, palm trees, ivy, and hoya cannot be given as a gift. These flowers predict discord in the family and disturb the peace. It is better not to violate long-lived signs.
Choose a plant in accordance with the person’s lifestyle. Potted flowers are a wonderful gift for both young and old people. Such a gift not only serves as an interior decoration, but also preserves the warm feelings of the giver.
Photos of flowers in pots
Today we’ll talk about our favorite and popular indoor plants.
Indoor plants are grown to decorate the interior, refresh, purify indoor air and as an alternative to live pets, because some people care for plants like children.
Without flowers in pots, mini bushes, exotic palm trees, orchids, containers with summer flowering seedlings on balconies, would you agree that our life would be much more boring and grey?
In addition to the fact that flowers at home are beautiful and cute, there is another aspect - status - expensive, original plants in large houses, apartments, cottages - they greatly ennoble, stylize, and increase the cost of the interior.
Among the palms and trees, the most popular are: Yucca, Dieffenbachia, Dracaena, Monstera, Ficus.
Yucca
“Yucca (lat. Yúcca) is a genus of tree-like evergreen plants of the Agave family (Agavaceae). Previously, this genus was included in the subfamily Dracaenoideae of the Liliaceae family, later it began to be included in the Agave family (Agavaceae). According to modern concepts, the Yucca genus belongs to the Asparagaceae family.”
Pictured is Yucca
Yucca aloifolia most often lives in our apartments - this is a decorative and miniature species of these plants. Yucca non-ornamental grows mainly in hot countries - in the southern United States, Mexico and Central America.
Dieffenbachia
“Dieffenbachia (lat. Dieffenbachia) is a genus of evergreen plants of the Araceae family, common in the tropics of South and North America.”
Dieffenbachia in the photo
A plant with large oval leaves, a green stem, can reach a height of 2-3 meters, rarely blooms under artificial conditions. The juice of the leaves is poisonous, causing dermatitis, burns of the throat and skin. You need to use gloves when handling the plant and keep it away from children.
Dracaena
“Dracaena (lat. Dracāena) is a genus of plants of the Asparagus family, trees or succulent shrubs. The number of species, according to various sources, is from forty to one hundred and fifty. Most species are native to Africa, a few to southern Asia, and one to tropical Central America."

Several varieties of dracaena are grown at home. A worthy plant that harmoniously brightens up the interior.
Monstera (Philodendron)
“Monstera (lat. Monstéra) - large tropical plants, vines; genus of the family Araceae."
Pictured is Monstera
In its non-decorative form, it is common in hot countries - in the tropical rainforests of the equatorial belt of America, parts of Brazil, and Mexico.
A liana with huge “holey” leaves is a beautiful plant if taken care of well. There are versions that absorb negative energy and release carbon dioxide at night, so it should not be placed in the bedroom.
Ficus
“Ficus (lat. Ficus) is a genus of plants of the Mulberry family (Moraceae), which forms the monotypic tribe Ficus (Ficeae). Most species are evergreen, some are deciduous.”
There are only about 840 types of ficus, some of them are decorative and can be grown at home.
The most popular domestic species: Ficus rubber, Ficus dwarf, Ficus benjamina.
Each species has many more varieties and varieties.
Ficus benjamina. Usually a small tree with pointed, oblong, glossy leaves. At home, with good care, such a plant grows up to 2-3 meters in height.
In the photo Ficus benjamina
About ficus Benjanimin varieties: “There are many varieties with leaves of different sizes, colors and shapes. The most popular among Russian gardeners: Danielle, Exotica, Monique, Barok, variegated Starlight and Reginald, small-leaved Natasja, Kinky, Wiandi. Dwarf varieties are used for bonsai.”
At auctions (on the Internet for example) you can buy such a flower for 400-1000 rubles.
Ficus rubbery- a tree with large, dense, pointed-oval, smooth, glossy leaves 20-30 cm long and 10-20 wide.
In the photo, Ficus rubbery
“The most famous ornamental varieties:
Ficus elastica ‘Decora’ - with bronze young leaves;
Ficus elastica ‘Doescheri’ - withvariegatedleaves«.
“Ficus Benjamin is the symbol tree of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.” It’s hard to imagine, but these green trees are relatives of fig trees, growing in warm countries; fig trees, or fig trees, grow berries such as figs. Figs are very sweet and healthy berries; we sell them in dried form. Sometimes decorative ficus trees also bear fruit, somewhat similar to figs.
There is even experience when ficus was grown from the seeds of figs purchased at the market, you just need to be patient and take very good care of it, although according to reviews from those who grew such a miracle, it is very unpretentious, and after sprouting it quickly gains growth. The small fig tree is quite a fashionable house plant.
Among the succulent indoor plants and cacti, the most popular are: Crassula, Aloe, Kalanchoe, Cacti, Sansevieria, Euphorbia.
Crassula (or money tree)
“Crassula (lat. Crássula) is a genus of succulent plants of the Crassula family. Includes between 300 and 350 species, of which more than two hundred are native to South Africa; a significant number of species are distributed in Tropical Africa and Madagascar, several species are found in southern Arabia.
Many species are used in indoor floriculture; indoor plants of this genus with round leaves that look like coins are sometimes called “money trees.”
In the photo there is a fat woman
It grows quite slowly, a compact tree with a dense, delicate trunk and fleshy, oval, coin-shaped leaves. The leaves contain a lot of arsenic, so it is dangerous to eat them; you need to keep the plant away from children.
With good care it can bloom, but it does not bloom very impressively.
Aloe
“Aloe (Latin Áloë) is a genus of succulent plants of the subfamily Asphodelaceae of the Xanthorrhoeaceae family, containing more than 500 species, common in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.”
In the photo Aloe arboreal
In the decorative version, the most popular species are Aloe tree and Aloe aristata. Aloe is a very useful flower. Its juice heals wounds and helps with a runny nose. Raw materials are widely used in medicine for the manufacture of drugs.
Kalanchoe
“Kalanchoe, also Kalanchoe (lat. Kalanchoë) is a genus of succulent plants of the Crassulaceae family. More than two hundred species are known, growing in tropical and southern Africa, South and Southeast Asia and the tropics of South America.”
Pictured is Kalanchoe
The photo shows flowering species of Kalanchoe
It is also a very healthy flower; the juice has healing properties. On each leaf, “babies” are “born” to collapse: small plants with roots, you just need to plant them in the ground and the finished plant will be ready in a couple of months. An ordinary Kalanchoe is a rather inexpressive plant; all its strength lies in its healing properties. But the blooming varieties are very beautiful, bright, and expressive.
cacti
“Cactaceae, or Cacti (lat. Cactaceae) - a family of perennial flowering plants of the order Cloves.”
Among the cacti there are very interesting and unusual representatives, they bloom very beautifully. There are versions that cacti absorb radiation, thereby protecting people from it; it is recommended to place the plant near the computer monitor and radiation sources.
Spurge
Several types of milkweed are grown at home: for example, plump or plump milkweed Euphorbia obesa, beautiful spurge Euphorbia pulcherrima or poinsettia (Star of Bethlehem), white-veined spurge Euphorbia leuconeura, Mil's spurge Euphorbia mili, triangular spurge Euphorbia trigona, large-horned spurge Euphorbia grandicornis, etc. d.
In the photo, white-veined spurge
White-veined spurge is the most common spurge in Russian homes. It is poisonous; the juice must not come into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, much less fall into the hands of children.
Sansevieria (pike tail)
“Sansevieria (sansevieria, sansevieria, pike tail) is a genus of stemless evergreen perennial herbaceous plants of the Asparagus family. Plants of this genus are found in dry, rocky regions of tropical and subtropical Africa, Madagascar, India, Indonesia and South Florida.”
In the photo there is a “pike tail”
Pike tail, as this plant is popularly called, is a very popular, unpretentious, inexpensive, easily propagated flower. There are several varieties of Sansevieria - spotted, miniature, rose-shaped, long feathers.
The leaves of this plant contain toxic substances - sapopins. Sansevieria is used to make ointments and medicines; for this, the raw materials are processed, which neutralizes the toxicity.
Spathiphyllum
“Spathiphyllum, or Spathiphyllum (lat. Spathiphyllum) is a genus of perennial evergreen plants of the Araceae family, some representatives are popular indoor plants.”
In the photo Spathiphyllum
Inexpensive, pretty flower, without a stem, “a bunch of leaves from the ground.” Blooms with good care. It can be a very voluminous, lush flower, standing on the floor in large pots.
African violet (or Saintpaulia)
“Saintpaulia (lat. Saintpaulia) is a genus of beautifully flowering herbaceous plants of the Gesneriaceae family. One of the most common indoor plants; Also known in floriculture as Uzambara violet. It grows naturally in the mountainous regions of East Africa.”
A favorite house flower for many gardeners of all ages, it is a compact, pretty plant with bright and beautiful flowers. Violet is quite whimsical - from my personal experience and from the experience of friends. However, as comments from lovers of these flowers on the Internet say, caring for these plants is simple, but you need to follow a number of rules:
“And I have about two hundred of them... There are no special problems. I water it at the root, feed it once a month, and illuminate it with lamps in winter.”
“I have a lot of violets, they are not whimsical, the only thing you need to water is in a tray, in the winter once a week, in the summer twice a week, and so that they stand on the sunny side, I have them on the window in the kitchen - the sun is there in the second half days - they bloom 10 months a year.”
“The 2 main conditions are not to overfill and do not place in direct sunlight. I water mine once a week.”
Violet propagates conveniently: a leaf placed in water produces roots.
Gloxinia
“Gloxinia (lat. Gloxinia) is a genus of plants of the Gesneriaceae family. Named after the German or Alsatian botanist and physician Benjamin Peter Gloksin (1765-1794)."
As we see, violet (Saintpaulia and gloxinia) are from the same genus of plants of the Gesneriaceae family. Gloxinia is very similar to violet, has a different leaf shape, larger flowers, sometimes in the shape of bells. It is propagated by tubers and cuttings, seeds.
Anthurium
“Anthurium (lat. Anthúrium) is a genus of evergreen plants of the Araceae family (Araceae).
Perhaps the most numerous genus of its family, modern sources number more than 900, other (older) about 500 species.
The Latin name of the genus is derived from the ancient Greek words meaning “flower” and “tail.”
In the photo Anthurium with blue flowers
Anthurium is similar to Spathiphyllum, but with red flowers - as we see they are one genus of evergreen plants of the Araceae family. An unusual, beautiful plant.
Schlumberger (or Decembrist)
“Schlumbergera (lat. Schlumbergera) is a genus of epiphytic cacti common in the tropical forests of southeastern Brazil, including Rio de Janeiro, at an altitude of 900-2800 m. Introduced to Europe by the collector Allan Cunningham around 1816.”
In the photo the Decembrist is in bloom
We call this flower the Decembrist. Despite the fact that experts do not classify it as a capricious plant, according to the experience of many of my friends, it is quite sensitive to any adverse effects. It got its name because it blooms in winter, in December.
Except for the winter time, compared to other flowers, it is gray and inconspicuous, and during flowering, the whole attitude towards it is revealed: if there was good care, the Decembrist will bloom profusely, with beautiful buds, if the care was poor, one or two pale flowers will come out.
Camellia
“Camellia (lat. Camellia) is an evergreen plant of the Tea family (Theaceae). The most famous species is Camellia sinensis (Camellia sinensis, or Tea, or Tea bush), from the leaves of which raw materials for making tea are obtained. Many types of camellia are used in ornamental gardening."
Indoor camellia is a beautiful plant, especially in bloom. Capricious. Cannot be moved from place to place.
Geranium
It is impossible to imagine an old grandmother’s house in the village without geranium; its smell, which causes either a headache or a slight gloom, is inseparable from the memories of parents and grandmothers for many.
In the photo there is a geranium
Azalea
“Azalea (lat. Azalea) is the collective name of some beautifully flowering plant species from the genus Rhododendron.”
