Yeah, all those are good ones. I love using flowering plants too, they really liven up the enclosure. Most common garden flowers are safe, and fortunately, anoles don't eat any plant matter. Just make sure there;s no pesticides or fertilizers in the potting soil or on the plant itself. What I do is buy a plant at a garden shop or walmart and since my substrate of choice is soil, I transplant them straight into the habitat. If you don't have soil as your substrate I'd buy some pure potting soil for your pot cause nearly all store-bought plants have chemicals in the soil. I'd also give the leaves and roots a good rinse before you complete the transplant. For a slightly updated version of that caresheet, check out caresheet #1 at my website. I don't remember what I changed or added, but I remember its updated somehow. I've got some neat pics of one of my enclosures while the floers were in bloom, but I can't seem to find the CD its on If I do I'll post some pics.
