@gitagal as always your input and pictures are perfect.
I know you don't really care, Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing but I think I can help you out with the names of your spiders. The one with the green inside and the creamy/white edge is called a Chlorophytum comosum 'Varigatum' or years ago we called it a Reverse Variegated spider. Now we are being correct. Rolling on the floor laughing It really does not matter as long as you love and care for it, which of course you do..you are correct, it has a "dainty" look....the leaves are thinner and more as we would say in the horse business...."a fine quality". They also show you quickly if they need to be watered.
The regular spider with the white center stripe and green edges is called a Chlorophytum conosum 'Variegatum'. this is what most people consider the most popular and the regular spider plant.
Lastly, that green one certainly looks like a Hawaiian or as we now know also is called Golden Glow, and I think if the babies are variegated when they are little, that would be the one way, as I have been told, you can be sure it is Hawaiian. The babies turn green as they get older. I hope this helps.
I do thank you , my friend, for the wonderful pictures and information you have shared with us. I know everyone here also appreciates it. I do hope you keep coming back and checking on us. If I need you in the meantime, I will certainly YELL.
