| I wish to share photos of my container plants.
In this planter, I have ivy and a kind of "grass" that produces tiny white blooms (you can see them in the second photo.) The "grass" has two varieties: variegated and all green.
This is another kind of "grass" which I brought back from the US. Would appreciate if you can provide an ID.
And a Maidenhair fern
I usually bring these plants inside to dot around my living room. Thanks for viewing. Xuan |

| The grass is called Liriope or Monkey grass and it is native to East Asia. It is not really a grass, but rather a lily. The ivy is English ivy. HTH. Thanks for sharing your pictures! |

| Hi, you do have some lovely plants, Xuan. The one with the white edges to it, variegated, is probably called AZTEC GRASS, do not know the proper name, but I have it purchased from Lowes or Home Depot. I have mine in the ground, because it is very hardy to cold temperatures. And I do LOVE leriope. Yours is a beautiful plant displayed very artistically with the contrasting ivy. May I suggest that you look for any variety of ASPEDISTRA ? |

| Yumtomatoes: oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know the appreviation :) Moccasinlanding: many thanks for your inputs. I will try to look for the plant you suggested. Xuan |
