I suggest a Sansevieria. I think purple is even offering some for postage. I like the plant because it is a statement plant. Planted in a beautiful pot it is like an exclamation point to the pot. The plant can take anything. It is stately and will not block the entrance.

Home Depot has Armayllis on sale for 6.98. They are the common ones but you could even have a pretty flower as a compliment for Thanksgiving. I picked up Appleblossom it already has a bloom stem trying to bloom in the bag.
I am going to stick it in front of my White Sansevieria ‘Bantel’s Sensation’
