i've always wanted a back yard fenced with bamboo trees. and if i had acres of land, i'd have a bamboo forest.
Bamboo can really take over in the right climate, but is quite difficult to contain (My grandparents planted some a few years ago and now it's 20 feet tall and quite robust). The roots spread out underground and sprout new shoots, so they can require a lot of work to prevent a bamboo fence from encroaching on your lawn. At least this makes it really easy to make a bamboo forest

I've always wanted to get some higanbana (also known as red spider lily, equinox flower), they're my favorite flower. The genus, Lycoris, is native to many parts of Asia.

Nothing in my room. I'm more kind of a guy who buys plants for the looks, after a few weeks it's dead because I don't water it and I have to buy a new one. Also most friends tell me watering plants is actually cheaper than going to a local mart every once in a while and buy new plants.
Thus there's nothing flowerish in my room, except for things like parsley in the kitchen for cooking purposes.

If the garden counts as well, there's way too much to just pick a few so I'm going with the biggest thing there is:

Walnut trees rules, they're just awesome. Imagine a cold wintery day, you don't want to go outside because it's fucking cold and you don't have to, because you have everything you need inside. Your couch, TV, a few walnuts and hopefully a nutcracker. Screw those animals and their wintersleep. I've perfected that without the need of sleeping thus you're not missing a thing!
Edit: Oh and I used to have a small field of strawberries in the garden too. Now that's awesome, walnuts, strawberries, there's nothing missing and you're the luckiest man alive. Sadly I don't know what happend to that field of strawberries

Red Roses, Birds of Paradise, Mistletoe, honeysuckle.

I have a bonsai jade tree, a bonsai... Mangrove, and a garden with strawberries cantaloupe and some beans. As for plants I'm planning on getting, I really want to grow my own bonsai, the two I already have were store bought several years ago.

Bamboo. It's really low maintenance and fills up your backyard almost instantly. You can cut some and use it for random stuff around the house as well.

Downside: It then fills up the neighbor's backyard.

I've always been intrigued by Bonsai... If I were ever to develop a green thumb I'd investigate Bonsai for sure, because there are so many different kinds, and it's literally like building something yourself. Very cool.
I quite like this one:

Yeah, that actually happened. Luckily my neighbors are asian and thought it was quite cool.

haha yeah, if you like them i suggest you try growing some too on backyard or in a pot. theyre relatively easy compared to other things i grow. Buying them in supermarket is way too overpriced and ones you grow last all summer. and fresh too!

My mom is an orchid lover xD
She has at least 10 of them in her room she cares for.
Honestly some of the most beautiful things on the planet....and the best thing is you only get one or so flowers a year, so each one is very special.

Jade plants, salvia plants, and of course the most important plant on earth, hemp. Most people don't know there was a law in the 1600s that made farmers grow hemp. It's good for everything from clothes to paper to fuel.

I would like to own a nice grapefruit tree. Too bad I live in washington.
