Although I do not have a green thumb, i certainly appreciate the glories of keeping lively, green plants indoors.  Generally i stick to succulents - they are easy to tend to and beautiful to look at - but this post from Australian Homehints (their How-to section offers helpful hints on things like folding fitted sheets and getting rid of cockroaches without chemicals) has sparked an interest in me to start to house bulbs inside also. What a treat it would be to walk through the door and have the smell of a hyacinth waft past.
