Some of my plants - and question

[Karen]

Cool - I know one! This one:



is Lemon Germanium, and likes sun, and will have pretty white flowers if it gets enough sun and water! If it does not get enough sun, it'll get all spindly-looking, so kep it pruned back if it does, but the leaves are still fragrant when dried, so make delightful bookmarks until they get too fragile!

Thanks Karen! I looked them up and found this:

There's also a video clip of how to take cuttings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZPsJF90hSk

I only got it last autumn and it hasn't flowered yet.

Yeah, they like lots and lots of sun, so probably the Danish winter wasn't bright enough for them, but I bet spring and summer will be!

And the last one, with the variegated color leaves is caladium, they are good shade plants!

Lovely plants, sorry I can't help with names, lol.

Sorry I can't help with names either, but just wanted to add that I am so anal/paranoid about keeping plants in my house ever since I lost my cat to an Easter Lily (a friend brought it into the house and I did not know about it) that if I don't know what the plant is then it comes nowhere near my house. It was so sad and so hard putting my 1 1/2 year old heart kitty (absolute heart kitty... no other cat has since even come close) to sleep because of something completely avoidable.

Good luck ID-ing them... in the mean time, please be cautious about allowing any pets near them!

None of her plants are lilies - and the geranium is even edible to people!

All lilies are extremely toxic to cats in particular, I tell people to stick to roses if they want to give pretty flowers to a cat owner.

The last one is a coleus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleus

I understand that none are lilies, but there are many indoor plants that aren't lilies that are toxic as well.
