A Iris a Day

Clematis.

I buy them from all over, but most of mine are from Etsy. Here are some shops online I source from:

UnusualSeeds is a really good shop for getting, well, unusual seeds. It does take a bit to get to the US since he’s located in Serbia.

Walawala Studio. The seeds are a bit more expensive than other shops, especially for the quantities, but they also have some unusual things and are domestic for North America buyers, so you’ll get your seeds more quickly if time is an issue.

Smart Seed Emporium is a more general seed store. They have a few unusual succulents, but they also have things like many food plant cultivars and flower-oriented plants. This is where my Aloe polyphylla’s seed came from!

Baker Creek Heirlooms is a more agriculturally-oriented shop for if you’re looking for interesting food crops.

Back to succulents and other ornamentals, Mesa Garden is another really good one! I got my Drimia intricata seeds from here.

Miniature orchids

My sister’s terrarium garden is one of the loveliest things I’ve ever seen.

Hi! Sorry that I didn’t reply to this sooner! There are lots of neat ways to make Plant Space in small bedrooms, even if you can’t use a window frame. (Though how much light they will need will of course depend on the plant, and I would make sure that the plants your worried about even NEED direct sunlight, a lot of them don’t prefer it.)

You could buy a simple shelf that you can just screw into the wall under/closer to your window like this (photo credit): 

Or you can have one of these cute little key-hanger shelves and put it on the wall next to your window or at least closer to the window than your bookshelf, and hang some plants off of the knobs there: 

Something I personally REALLY wanna do, and that I think is awesome because you can move it around anywhere, is to hang plants from a coat hanger and keep it closer to your window, like this (photo credit): 

AAAH ALSO THIS THING THAT I REALLY WANNA DO it looks really simple, just put a bare, sturdy curtain rod up over your window and hang plants from it (photo credit): 

And this other thing is pretty neat too BUT you would have to make a lot of wall space and it likely wouldn’t be any closer than the bookshelf you’re currently using (photo credit):
