: I was wondering what kind of live plants (if any) that could be

: Thanks to anyone who can clear me up on this topic!  
Our kids love playing and chewing on and eating the flowers off
our hibiscus.  I can rarely keep them alive during the winter so 
I let the gliders have them.  They love the flowers and chewing the 
bark is good for them.
