A plant for each of the five senses:

Sight: Polka Dot Plant – A delight to the eyes, this plant’s pink, white, and red spots are not variegation, but “figurative patterning” like the stripes on a zebra.

Touch: Aloe – Cleopatra bathed in the juices of aloe to maintain her beauty. Squeeze the plant’s fleshy leaves to release a soothing sap. You could even use it to make your own soap!

Smell: Eucalyptus – The heavily scented leaves area a traditional aboriginal herbal remedy. The essential oil found in the leaves is a common ingredient in many cold remedies.

Taste: Herb Mix – These herbs, with their variety of sharp, flavorful tastes, enliven your senses and wake you up to the sights and smells around you.

Hear: Cabbage Palm - Close your eyes and brush your hand over the palm and you can imagine yourself in a field of tall grass listening to the wind gentle rustle the blades.
