Conservatory and Indoor Plants Volume 2 by Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix includes begonias, lilies, jasmines, orchids, hoyas, palms, ferns, oleanders and other select groups.

All of them can be grown outdoors in the UK summer. There are also introductory chapters on garden and greenhouse cultivation, types of conservatory and on the habitat of species in the wild.
