Houseplant Census 2010

I ran across a blog that asked the question "How many houseplants do you have?"
The definition of "houseplant" that was chosen is very broad: any plant indoors now that is alive. This includes not only traditional houseplants, but plants brought inside for the winter, forced bulbs, holiday gift plants, seedlings and so on.













A quick trip around the house and 176 plants and still counting... My husband has always said "You have alot of plants!!" There seems to be room for so many more that it doesn't seem that many, until they come in for the winter and you count them all.



Seedlings
8 parsley plants, 9 basil plants, 2 meyer lemon trees, 8 chives,41 jack in the pulpit seedlings
Annuals and bulbs
6 geraniums rescued from the garbage last fall, 5 crocus, 5 hyacinth, 9 grape hyacinth, 7 coleus
Tropicals and others
20 orchids, 2 hoya plant, 1 kalanchoe, 9 amaryllis, 1 aloe, 2 variegated spathiphyllum, 1 fern, 3 ponytail palms, 1 asparagus fern, 1 spider plant, 3 zebrina pendula, 2 tradescatia albiflora 'albovittata', , 1 aglaonema, 1 clivia, 1 dracaena, marginata 'tricolor', 1 palm, 1 passiflora, 1 philodendron, 2 streptocarpus, 1 siderasis, , 1 swedish ivy, 1 pepperomia, 5 trailing saintpaulia, 9 variegated saintpaulia, 1 kohleria, 1 chirita, 1 begonia, 1 draceana and 1 peacock plant.

Okay, so there are alot of plants, but I still have room for one more!
What a fun way to pass the time during the mid point of winter. How many do you have? If you don't want to list them like I have you can just let me know how many.
