Flowering Plants?

I am wondering what would be a good colorful flowering plant that I could use in my enclosure?

I know hisbuscis has floweres, but arent those hard to bloom with only the ubv light alone? I have an extra regular 24" flourescent bulb from my fish tank I could use if that would help?

I use a 18" grow florescent I got from Walmart in addition to everything else of course. It seems to help out a lot but I've had since I've had plants in the cage. The hibiscus in there is about to have another bloom open up but the bud was there when I bought it, two weeks ago. So I don't know yet how much it will help to grow new buds over time.

So how often does it bloom? Say I was to just have one real plant in the enclosure, would a hibiscus be the best?

Are they in season right now? I was going to go to HD and Walmart to see if I could find a good plant for the enclosure.

I live in Arizona, it's still in the 80's here so I am assuming most plants are still out?

Home Depot has a big selection right now. Depending on what vendor they get them from they charge you different prices in the 1 gallon size. The more expensive brand is almost $7.00.
