I don’t know, but I don’t think you can officially call yourself an herb gardener unless you’ve got some thyme growing there.  It’s one of the most essential and helpful plants around.  It doesn’t hurt that it has more than a hundred varieties, each of which has its own unique flavor and aroma.

Regardless of which variety of thyme you grow, they all have a woody, twig like stem and small oval-shaped leaves.  Thyme will have small purple, pink or white blooms that bud in early summer or late spring depending on the growing season.

Orchids are some of the best and beautiful indoor plants for color.  There are shades of orchids unmatched in the man-made world.  Colors only Mother Nature can mix on her pallet.  Orchids at one time were very rare and difficult flowers for people to grow and purchase, however cross breeding and hybridization has made many orchid species hardier and very stunning.  Some of the easiest and most popular commercialized orchids are Phalaenopsis or the moth orchid, Paphiopedilum or the slipper orchid, Dendrobium or literally translated means “tree life” orchid, and lastly Oncidium or literally translated it means “swelling”.  All of these orchids offer so much in shape and size but especially the plants are some of the best indoor plants for color.
