I don't know how popular these plants happened to be in the 50's or 60's, but this is one of my current favorite combinations.

I've also got some Oxalis Triangularis in there, but they don't do so well inside under the shade of the other plants. You don't have to have the Bass on the mirror, but one of my housemates thought it looked cool - and I wasn't going to fight him, because I thought it was funny too. It's not there anymore though, the plastic thing that held it onto the mirror gave out and dropped it on the fern a couple times and that's when I told him to lose it if it was going to wreck my plant.
