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!

Here is more info on the lemon geranium: http://www.ehow.com/info_8235242_lem...lant-care.html

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

Coleus or Caladium, both prefer full to partial shade. Keep them moist as well, both have similar needs. Do pinch them back if they get "leggy," but they are one of the few colorful plants that thrive in shade. And, by the way, Catty1, Coleus is the "old" name for that plant if you read the page to which you linked.

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

Thanks! There's a list of poisonous plants somewhere on PT. Will search later.
