Vote for the Indoor Plant of the year 2011

In every country in the world, people are growing indoor plants to decorate their rooms, to increase the freshness of the air or whatever. However, there are only very few indoor plant competitions between families. Even less, indoor plants are paid attention to when people look across the borders. But the indoor green is such a rich global commonality. It is unbelievable how much local awareness is paid to indoor greens in many different cultures of the world. And it is even less believable that there is not yet a European or global indoor plant competition in place. Or it might also be that the competitions for the indoor plant of the year are very well hidden.

This is changing now. In Germany, there is a new competition that has gone online. At the German site Zimmerpflanzen it is possible for you to vote for "your" Indoor Plant of the year 2011. If you want to participate, it is fairly easy to visit Zimmerpflanzen and to leave a comment with your most favorite plant and with a very brief explanation why you think "your" plant deserves to be the plant of the year 2011. You can suggest every plant which can be cultivated in a room. You can vote until December 29, 2010. 

Of course, I think that the Hawaiian Palm should be the Indoor Plant of the year simply because the Hawaiian Palm is the most rare and most beautiful plant on the planet. The palm is also the most decorative plant for a room and catches every visitors' attention. The palm is a source for intelligent and inspiring conversations about wildlife if you have new visitors coming to your home. In my point of view, the Hawaiian Palm is also an essential part of high quality interior design. It's the last kick that is missing in most interior spaces, where indoor designers strive for detailed perfection.

Do you wonder, is this all? No, the vote for the Indoor Plant of the year 2012 will start in January 2011. Good luck with your votes and have fun.
