I'm looking for a small-medium size house plant that has pretty flowers throughout the year. Is there such a plant? The room is fairly bright with skylights. I want to place it on a shelf. Thanks for any advice or suggestions.
Hmmmm, I really can't think of one at the momnet but if it's bright enough you CAN grow impatiens indoors easily. I do over the winter time in a west window...
I'm sure you can find something. Take a look at
Don't discount getting a vine. Some are manageable in small spaces, have very nice flowers - usually scented, and are 'understory' plants accustomed to lower light levels. maybe a Hoya ?
good luck

I have a Crown of Thorns that blooms all year round. I also havd Hoyas but sometimes they are messy. The flowers do drip fluids. But a washable tray under these works well.

Unless you can get that plant a foot away from the skylight, it will serve no purpose to the plant to be in a bright room. You still have to get very low light plants.
Rex begonia Spathaphyllum aka peace lily
Oh, too many to list.
You might consider African violets (Saintpaulia). Mine have been blooming continuously since since I got them in February and are not looking to stop.
Hope this helps.
I like Bamboo Begonia. Large pot = large plant. Small = small plant.
Heart shaped flowers. I do not know where to purchase them mine was a gift from Vietnam.
They are real easy to propagate.
