I don't generally approve of plants in houses - they never look quite comfortable, not in my home, at least. I've been lucky enough to travel to places where Ficus benjamina are the size of oak trees and Monstera deliciosa are climbing towards a forest canopy. For me it just doesn't feel right to grow them next to the TV.
The Hawaiian palm (brighamia) is not so much a jungle escapee desperately pining for the rainforest - it's more of an endangered species in need of fostering. Raised from seed by Dutch nursery Plant Planet, these beautiful plants can be grown happily in your living room. And as there are only seven specimens left in the wild, the IUCN is desperate to bring attention to them.
That's a pretty good reason to grow one. They need little watering and have the added bonus of flowering in deepest, darkest winter. I think I have the perfect spot in mind.

Free greeting card high resolution lotus photo. A lucky day on my way from Siem Reap to Beng Melea temple, with beautiful white and pink lotus in fresh green lotus ponds. Just a day or two after several cloudy and rainy days is the best time to find beautiful fresh looking lotus blossoms.
I am still on the hunt for the perfect lotus flower picture in pink and white. I love my Carl Zeiss lenses for their excellent job on my Sony A900. A perfect lotus flower photo requires a perfect weather, perfect green natural background or blue sky background combined with a perfect looking lotus blossom.
In windy days the blossoms all are out of shape - just like the hair style of a pretty woman. If too long hot and sunny, then many of the surrounding background leaves turn brown. If blossom too old, then too many insect traces. Many insects love flowers and eat little by little ...
No problem for mother nature, no reason to use any chemicals, it looks natural to me when flowers share a little for other living beings of mother nature. But for a perfect lotus shot I prefer to have a clean virgin lotus flower.
