Ornate plant suggestions?

[aholgate]

I was wondering if there were any smaller ornate plants and flowers that anyone likes to use for smaller cages. I'm in the process of setting up some small cages for babies and wanted to add some color/liveliness. Thanks!

I will try to suggest a few off the safe list. :
Hibiscus- rosa-sinensis- should be able to find small one easily but do like warmth and light so not the best for the montanes unless you switch them out. beautiful flowers.
COLEUS- Can get these in just about any color or combo.
EMERALD RIPPLE also PEPEROMIA- Have seen pretty colors and textures
FUCHSIA- beautiful flowers but usually needs to hang
GLOXINIA or AFRICAN violets- just have to get the lighting right
HOYA also WAX PLANT- There are some with pink veragation that are bright. Vines but can hang or vine up.
KALANCHOE- Lots of different choice flower colors
PRAYER PLANT- some colorful leaves
ZEBRA PLANT

These are some I have seen as inside house plants so worth a try. Now if you set up outside enclosures then way more choices. This is the list I was looking from.:

If you are looking for color I would just use silk ones. I love my hibiscus but it's super sensitive and has no flowers the majority of the time : /
